The silence suffocates
Quiet chokes.
My thoughts are all that fill this void.
The darkness consumes
Lying here
The demons overjoyed.
I can hear my breathing
May it cease.
My heart to stop in equal time.
The beating bloodline
Louder still
The lonely pantomime.
Kill now this silence please
Fill it up.
My ears brimmed with happy noises.
The laughing children
Lovely wife
The finest of voices.
Bring them all back to me
My loved ones.
My home be filled with noise renewed.
The chaos glad
Playful muse
The empty heart subdued.
