you said once, "i can no longer afford the sound of silence.
it takes too much to keep everything still. i always fall back
into myself, gasping for air while meanwhile, my fingers begin
to betray me, unwrapping sound in slow circle movements i
can no longer pronounce. how do you keep everything frozen
from song, from words when even the air itself breathes in
heavy sighs? no, i just can no longer afford the sound of
silence so leave now while you still can before i make one last
attempt at keeping you forever silent."

but you did ya know, in a way,


you did.

Author's Note: this seems a bit sketchy i think, but right now, i'm not too concerned with it. i'll pull it another day.
