still as 4am
on a night I actually slept
soundless but loud
a kind of silence that no one's ears should bare

above is an empty, open, breathful space
and
under is a life-filled, pressured tank

you are a lot like the under surface
like the sea
full of life
undiscovered, deep, independent thoughts

I am the above surface
all is dead
nothingness is empty
a black space, my love for darkness

I used to be scared of the dark
in the closet
outside
during a power outage
they were all different

now they are my comfort zone
my favorite places
my shadows

but i'm scared of the sea
I guess because it's a lot like you.
