Sometimes that voice

you know the one in your head

it gets you

it gets you to do things

that arent good all the time

"I want to see it"

"get the smooth paint brush"

"paint me a crimson picture"

"lines and lines of it"

"i want to see it"

you regret it after but the voice

it goes away

for a little bit

"Make me a necklace"

"make it with that rope"

"put it on i want to see it on you"

you put it on just to make the voice happy

"now" it says

"fly" you do as it says

you jump into the air

but your rope necklace

stops you

it stops the voice completely

for the first time in forever you hear

you hear the silence you've been craving

the necklace stopped the voice

but it also stopped your heart
