Tired

I find myself lost in my thoughts,

I think about things come and gone.

Last night I sat alone in the quiet darkness,

it was the loudest sound I ever heard.

This engulfing loneliness surrounded me like a thick blanket.

I dreamed I was feeding a dead fish parts of my heart.

The fish was slowly frying and I woke up.

I was alone in the still darkness.

I tried to comfort my soul by playing guitar

but even that did not quiet the silence around me.
