Without Asking (by xoxosilly); She came with neither blade nor plea,
Just silken calm surrounding me.
No fight, no cry, no last regret,
Just soft release where fear had set. ; No light, no pitch, no final frame,
Just absence whispering my name.
No path to trace, no stars to see,
Just her, and what she took from me. ; She didn’t speak, she didn’t plead,
She didn’t weigh what I might need.
She simply made the noise decay,
Then gently brushed the world away. ; No cruel intent, no guiding flame,
No righteous cause, no one to blame.
Just silence wide enough to drown,
And stillness folding slowly down.
