Sometimes, what I really want Is to be engulfed in silence To blink, and open my eyes Greeted by nothingness Just gentle nothingness I'd blink Close Open Eyes And still Nothing And I'd just sit there Silence holding my everything Caressing flesh And allowing nothing to pierce my thoughts and hearing Save for whatever I decide to allow I'd see nothing No one Ne'er a voice nor another body Sometimes, I wish to be engulfed by silence And allow it to become my everything I'd finally have time to cry To decompress To allow every pain that I've experienced Every frustration Every curiosity Every emotion To be released And once I'd done mine, I'd ask for yours And if you'd let me, I'd throw all your pain into the silence And we'd never hear from it again The silence For if one allows engulfment for too long One truly must face self And this I assure you Insanity follows Without others Without Him Without friends, families, lovers, strangers, acquaintances, enemies, bosses, & coworkers Silence is nice But I'm glad I am where I am Because I can wish for silence Desire engulfment But secretly be so blessed, That while I wish I do not truly desire.

Inky, Black Silence
Sometimes, what I really want Is to be engulfed in silence To blink, and open my eyes Greeted by nothingness Just gentle nothingness I'd blink Close Open Eyes And still Nothing And I'd just sit there Silence holding my everything Caressing flesh And allowing nothing to pierce my thoughts and hearing Save for whatever I decide to allow I'd see nothing No one Ne'er a voice nor another body Sometimes, I wish to be engulfed by silence And allow it to become my everything I'd finally have time to cry To decompress To allow every pain that I've experienced Every frustration Every curiosity Every emotion To be released And once I'd done mine, I'd ask for yours And if you'd let me, I'd throw all your pain into the silence And we'd never hear from it again The silence For if one allows engulfment for too long One truly must face self And this I assure you Insanity follows Without others Without Him Without friends, families, lovers, strangers, acquaintances, enemies, bosses, & coworkers Silence is nice But I'm glad I am where I am Because I can wish for silence Desire engulfment But secretly be so blessed, That while I wish I do not truly desire.
