i am sitting in a cold and very much crowded room. a sea of nameless faces, attached to 10,000 bodies, filling 10,000 seats. a cacophony of voices and footsteps and shuffling figures, "pardon me." small pieces of silence peeking through the static of hums and murmurs. out of 10,000 - i catch myself looking for one face in particular: yours. but all i can manage to pick out are not-quite's and hard-to-tell's. in a room filled with 10,000 faces i'm looking for yours (because it is all that i see when i close my eyes) in a room filled with 10,000 faces your name is echoing in my chest. each letter, ringing in my ears, crawling up the walls of my throat, desperate to escape my lips and scream with every decibel i posses the power to create, "where are you?" in a room filled with ten-fucking-thousand faces - the only one that matters isn't there. m.f.
