I listen to the way you lie to me, the voices in the windchill, the lapping of long waves against a distant shore, the wails of ghosts far from home, and I think about it about us; about you; about me. What does it say that I have missed every single opportunity I have ever been given and directed so much anger-- so much bitterness at myself that I can only ever be tired? I listen to to the wind in leaves, the wailing of trees, the moaning of old beams, the sound of water dripping into a bowl, and the answer. I listen to the answer. I listen to the answer.

A list of my favourite sounds
I listen to the way you lie to me, the voices in the windchill, the lapping of long waves against a distant shore, the wails of ghosts far from home, and I think about it about us; about you; about me. What does it say that I have missed every single opportunity I have ever been given and directed so much anger-- so much bitterness at myself that I can only ever be tired? I listen to to the wind in leaves, the wailing of trees, the moaning of old beams, the sound of water dripping into a bowl, and the answer. I listen to the answer. I listen to the answer.
