Shhh, Say Nothing

 

I hate being alone with my thoughts

Especially when I’m not by myself

So I break the emptiness

With the vacant noise

I just need to be stimulated 

All the time or I feel incomplete 

That’s why I can’t stop myself 

seeking attention 

I fear the void and all it traps

So I want to avoid it wholly 

But I need to learn it’s all good

When there’s nothing else to say

Don’t try and communicate 

Shhhh.  Say nothing. 

When we’re alone in silence 

Enjoy the peace don’t interrupt.  

Shhhh.  Say nothing.  

Easy said but easier to say

Something else now to break the silence 

But if I only listened 

To these two heartbeats 

Maybe if I could shut up and be 

Just be in a moment in a space

A place of real ecstasy 

Outside all the noise 

But I still struggle without it

A needless narrative to hide that 

I’m unsure of things like myself. 

When there’s nothing else to say

Don’t try and communicate 

Shhhh.  Say nothing. 

When we’re alone in silence 

Enjoy the peace don’t interrupt.  

Shhhh.  Say nothing.  

Seal my lips 

With a kiss 

And shut them

Until when

It’s that time 

It’s okay 

Hold me tight 

Keep me safe

And alright 

Kill a fear

In my mind

Still my heart. 

When there’s nothing else to say

Don’t try and communicate 

Shhhh.  Say nothing. 

When we’re alone in silence 

Enjoy the peace don’t interrupt.  

Shhhh.  Say nothing.
