Hum

In the silence of the night I am no longer me

No longer a man But a collection of woes

I sit, in judgement

In fear

In pain

In silence

That which most take solace in

I cannot have

For all that waits for me

Is my decomposition

I must have life

Loud, brilliant, distracting

Perhaps a little conversation

petty, vain, sultry

Or at least some music

Any kind really

Even just vocals

A bird's song?

Maybe just some noise?

To keep me alert, awake

Or a hum

Please God,

A hum
