Here Comes the Silence

by jackie-harrington

I let the smoke fill my dim lit room Too afraid to address how I feel Too afraid to be used Out of body Sometimes it's like I don't have anybody Why do I need the smoke when I start to feel kind of funny? And why do you love me? I'm losing sight of what I'm writing Why do I bite my tongue? Why do I choose to go silent? Here comes the silence My mind feels altered Sometimes it feels so good when I start to go under I miss my colors Wish I was brighter Probably should have been loved more as a child Here comes the silence
