Waiting, Ive been

Waiting

For the Silence

All my life,

Sitting, music fading,

Sliding

Down into the

Dark

Of day.

The swirls of deep blue

Swim into my brain,

And invade.

I fall,

Deeper

And Deeper.

I wish I never had to come up for

Air.

Air that Ive never wanted to breathe,

Forces its way

Inside my lungs and

Rushes like strong winds going

Through

A house.

Rushes its way through

My head.

Eyes open,

Locked

On me.

Tears push past

Barriers,

That I have set for a reason.

A reason that is much

Better

Forgotten.

Lights are bright,

And suddenly, that Silence

That Ive always

Craved,

Has been

Stripped

Away.

I need it

Back,

But I

Know

It will

Never

Return.
