In silent nights I hear sirens, joking for years about them coming for us; but that night was no joke; a knock at the door, a message from a friend, a locked room; a scream, a wail, a puddle; in the silence of the night I hear a heart monitor steady.

Silence
In silent nights I hear sirens, joking for years about them coming for us; but that night was no joke; a knock at the door, a message from a friend, a locked room; a scream, a wail, a puddle; in the silence of the night I hear a heart monitor steady.
this is my biggest fear.
