I have a fear of silence.

But not the normal silence.
Not the silence that accompanies an awkward car ride.
Not the silence between joking with your friends.

No.

Raw silence.

The silence you get when you're alone in the darkness of your room.

The silence you get when you're lying with you and yourself.

The silence you get when you feel something close but can't pinpoint it.

Silence.

(This was written almost entirely through the hours of just 1-2 am while having these silences so there's the context for the poor writing)
