oblivion

jealousy is nothing more
than the insecure reminders
from a voice silenced long ago
learning to speak again through
the bile of another's wake
so i choose to not swim
            i choose
to stand on the shore, sinking
ankle deep ... into
   oblivion

by each let this be heard,

Hey, this was great. I wrote one once with the same name but nowhere near as good as yours.  If I can find it, will post it for the heck of it - maybe.

Good write, me friend.
