Day 990: loneliness is a song

sleep through the sound of static
drown it under water
drown it under
drown it
drown

you
are a temple of whispers
loneliness
is just a song
weʻve all forgotten the name of
but learned at a young enough age
to never let slip

i think about the way the song must fall off your lips
think about the way it pitter patters to the ground
think about how it would sound
diving into the ocean
think about the sound of it drowning
the loneliness
instead of it drowning you
think about myself as water
smothering the bad
think about it all
falling down around me
