She's Amazing

She’s AHHMazing.

I’m tired.

So drained.

My brain needs

Full silence.

Silence filled

With the kind of background

Music that makes you

Hum and recite the words

So nothing else will fit.

So the silence is

The sound of only waves.

Of heartbeats.

Of the wind.

The sound of

being under water.

Of cupped hands over my ears 

Making a deep whomp whomp whomp.

The kind of silence that mutes internal weeping and the constant neverending story about the old friend she used to know that lived there once that was her friends boyfriend for a bit but she married someone when she moved to that place over by, oh, she can’t remember the name of that place… what’s that called?

Then the need for silence feels

selfish and short sighted.

This is it.

The sound I will wish was

the drone of silence.

Caretaking
