penetrating the walls, invading my space,
comes the sound.
it chases me, finds me, leaves me with no place to hide.
searching for the source, I face the noise,
the memories sending me back to the beginning.
when I knew nothing,
and lived to love.
when this now jarring symphony was nothing but a song,
sweet music
to my ears.
I found it was easier to forget than to hold on,
a relief to consider myself free.
I never could’ve realized how suffocating it was to chase thrills,
trapped in the sweetness of cliche and movie-like dreams,
the night, smooth as silk, wraps me in a warm embrace
the heat of the moment takes me by surprise,
I tried slamming the door,
Staying quiet, listening, keeping myself locked up,
Pretending it wasn’t real,
