Isolation

There is no peace

In isolation 

Nothing louder than 

The lack of noise

As you coil in

On yourself 

Disappearing…

I'm disappearing 

I quit answering my phone

The world, a touch away

And I just…

Stop.

Shutting off,

I'm out of batteries 

The darkness sings it's tunes

And I 

Don't know how to unfold

Start anew

Back to the beginning.

There is no ending 

Just a series of pauses

And I

Think about death these days

Far more than I should

Think about dying

And trying

To decide 

If anyone would miss me.

He's just a touch away

The spark that will 

Feed the flame

And reignite the passion

For living

And I'm afraid

If I reach out,

The darkness will just 

Swallow him in

And he'll be gone, too.

I don't know 

How to return to the world

After leaving it

Maybe, you just do

This isolation 

Is so

Fucking loud

And I don't know

How to end it

Maybe, I just have to

Start again

Maybe you just do

One day at a time

In desperate need

Of some kind of reminder

There're still things

Worth existing for

And all I have to do

Is reach out my hand

He's waiting,

If only I could move,

I'd end the isolation.
