I wanted to love you
louder than your demons...

My Angel always tells me to hang in there...
But I can't...

Let silence befall you.
Let the lights calmly be blown out...

Majestically twirling,
So pure and bold...

Today,
A luminous angel came up to me...

I promised not to cry,
I said I would hang on...

What you do not see...
Are the five other patients...

Yell at the top of your lungs,
Scream empty words my way...

I was holding on tight,
That one frightening night...

My thoughts are raucous,
Uncut...

We will wait,
Silent as sin...

Too tired to get up,
But not tired enough to sleep...
