moribund: adj. in a dying state; near death

"I can't go on like this any longer.'

Above, the sun was still shining in the crayon blue sky. Birds of a merry kind still chirped, gliding through soft tails of willow trees, happily celebrating the start of Spring.

But in the small, small world of the two people facing each other, speechless with so many words to say, there was nothing but silence. 

He didn't know what he could do; how he could reply. The other's moribund love left him mute and lame.

His fingers and lips quivered. Then they gave up too. 

Widened eyes.

Helpless brows.

Broken hearts.
