Silence

A poem

It's so silent here

I can hear the voices in my head

I can hear everything you've said

I can't ignore/ That this is not the best

For me or you/ But I had to choose, like

Sometimes we have nothing to lose

In a lonely world/ And I can't turn to booze

So I numb the pain/ By just laying with you

By the ocean/ Under the night sky, otherwise

No reason why

It's so silent here

I can hear the voices in my head

I can hear all the fucked up things you've said

I can hear the judging minds/ What they've said

I can hear the signs that say stop

But I can't listen

Sometimes we have nothing, or everything- to lose

And I'm too aware/ That my mind is a mess

And I'm just so confused

In a lonely world, there's a fight in my head

And I can't turn to booze

So I numb the pain

By just laying with you

I numb out the voices

Under the night sky

It's so silent here

Otherwise, no reason why
