Silence

Whenever I'd fall because I couldn't

hold onto myself, I'd hold onto you.

You felt so secure, the harness keeping

me from hitting the bottom. I fear the

ropes are being stretched thin with

the silence growing between us. So if

you feel yourself falling because you can't

hold onto yourself, hold onto me. I get

you can't be strong for the both of us.

Instead we can fall together while the

quiet stitches us a mattress of noise

to land on safely where we can forever be loud.
