A/N: I was trying to come up with a less morbid summary but... I'm afraid it is quite simply this exactly: dead James talking to Elizabeth...

In Silence
In the dark stillness
I grieve,
Remembering the times when I could feel / was
Me.
-------
No right paths among the curtains of darkness
Heavy like each day's sunset.
A chain of days lost – without you.
A pain – tangible, desired - of your ever-absence.
-------
The mist is clear now,
And there is no distance.
Only the accidental sanctity of temporary resistance.
-------
I am free not to miss you,
But my ghost's shadow refuses
To let go of
Your smile (and)
Of confusion.
-------
I doubt the hell in heaven. It hurts so enough. Is there a way to reach you? To call you?
How-
-------
Why did I ever let go
Of the world - ?
That vanishing collection of chances
To let go;
Of everything, of everyone
I miss most
The faintest recollections
In which I hope- have faith- believe- love!-
For
-------
Redemption
Is absent, replaced
By(e)
(Not good, could've never-)
Your words
Granting
Comprehension
?
-------
On the other side of light it's still so dark,
I wish I could ask you to bring the moon and the sun
Here - There -
But you have your own stars to shoot, your own darkness to drape over
(Over!)
You.
I wish-
I wish...
Everything stills
Slowly.
And I can't hold onto
The words
Any longer.
-------
In silence
I'm losing all the memories of you.
-------
Out of dreams,
Death has at last conjured up
This truth.
