I can’t bear the silence between
The silence that cannot be seen
You my dear are silence between
For I can’t take the silence between

We drift apart like the silence between
Between our hearts that cannot be seen
I can’t take this silence between
For you are the silence between

your body is uncontainable,
each dream you have,
attainable.

your eyes are encapsulating,
don't worry,
there's no harm in waiting.

nothing is ever too difficult,
don't let anyone put
your heart on halt.

you're stronger than a flame,
more relentless than one too,
I promise sister,
you can be anything,
have whatever,
become what you do.

cover yourself up,
or just let go,
steady, steady,
your life is in perfect flow.

I'm a path with no end,
But it's a route planned out,
A road with no turnings,
No exits or roundabouts.

I really feel I lost it,
In a great big tidal wave,
I really feel I forgot it,
To the world I became enslaved.

I really feel my mind had chipped,
My thoughts arid and dried,
I felt no idea of mine,
Could stretch very far or wide.

There's so much I reach for,
But it's all out my grasp.

I've counted my stars,
and they all wish me luck,
I place them in my waistband,
neatly I tuck.

I've counted my stars,
they say they love you too,
they wink at me,
just as you do.

I've counted my stars,
and there are an infinite amount,
they fall in my pocket,
and I carry them around,

because they make me fly high,
like you do,
but they're here when you're not about.

I'm swimming,
wading through in my breath,
a sail ship at the back of my throat,
the sails tickling,
making me boke,

the waves, the waves,
they just keep coming,
dirtying me with their salty grit,

creeping creeping,
into my lungs,
hush,
be quiet,
my little one.

by the candle light,
when all is dead,
in the night,
shadows creep past,
they flicker on walls,
each of them refuse to pass,
pick at my skin with tools,
I question, I question,
under the moon,
will everything always be,
like an upside down,
warped reflection,
on a battered tea spoon
