The smooth silence.
Only the sound of the swirling fan could be heard.
The boy resists his urge to sleep.
He is scared to sleep.
But his eyelids are getting heavy.
Heavy as a mountain.
The boy sleeps in defeat.


He wakes up drenched.

I cannot sleep again.

The silence lingers in the chilly air.

The sound of nothingness seduces me.

But the sound of chaos in my mind destroys me.

I lay awake,
                  
             in total
                            
                      darkness­



                                                             ­                   smiling.

Forgive me, Satan.

For I have sinned.

For I am a mortal,
who have done you wrong.

I wish we could
go back to the days
where we would go home
and meet up again.

I wish we could
go back to the days
where we would pull out our phones
and talk again.

I wish we could
go back to the days
where we would make promises
to be together
forever
again.

I am like a fish,
you're like the bait.
I trust you so,
and so I bite.
But once I bite,
you give me a fright.

I am living in a place so cold,
I am use to being alone.
I fool you because ignorance is bliss,
I see no smile, I see no joy,
I've forgotten how to cry.

You are like a bad bacteria that's inside of my head.
I do not need you,
I do not want you,
but you,
you need me,
you want me.

There is a monster under my bed.
            There is a monster lurking in my closet.
                         There is a monster wandering outside my door.
                                       There is a man looking at me from my window.

the boy cries wolf.

stop trying to save yourself.
the ground you're standing on,
yeah,

it's breaking too.
