As I sit in the dark outside,
Tears roll down my cheeks.
I hear the cars passing in and out.
I wish I could be like them;
I wish my pain could be like them.

Only Passing.

I think to myself how my heart is beautiful- but still.
Silence is everywhere, all around me.
All the world is standing still like the night.
It's soothing.

Why am I scared?

This calm and silence should be soothing to me,
But, instead, it scares me.

I feel alone.

The cars still passing by.
I feel the pain still.
I feel alone.
The silence makes me realize all that I didn't.
My ears are ringing

I feel alone... because I am.

There are no lights.
