I entered in blindly with
my eyes wide opened;
Daydreaming at night
while listening to
Lullabies of quiet, still silence.
A silence so loud that I
could hear the waning of
my beating heart.
I suffocated.
I suffocated on every breath
I took and
drowned in every
streamless tear that
never left my eyes.
I lie to myself
in truth
that he's coming
back and I lay here
with him beside me
until he returns.
