Shell Rose

~o0o~

Can you hear it?

Those are the sounds of my words.

It's ringing.

Are you listening?

I'm sure you aren't.

It's hollow and cracked,

from long not using it

when I had the chance.

The pitch has gone,

the shell rose that it is.

I want to tell you something.

Is my voice reaching you?

I hope so.

What I'm about to say will shock you.

Before this, I was alive.

Now, I'm just a shell rose no one takes notice of.

The light's dull.

I can't see you.

Are you still there?

I'm scared.

What do you think is going to happen to us?

I don't know about you

but I'm nothing but a shell rose.

-0-

They are here.

I can hear the voices.

They're coming closer.

Why is the lights gone out?

Where are you taking me?

No one will hear my voice.

Have you forgotten already?

I'm just a shell rose.
