When the lights turn off
and the music stops,
quiet fills the air.
You hear the humming
of silence staring
into the midst
of nowhere.
My heart starts to speak
—leaping beat to beat.
Constricted by fear—
Only muffled words, I hear.
Pumping blood through my veins.
That damn song starts to play.
While no words come through,
I know the tune.
You always seem to find
me when darkness fills my mind.
Alone we shall be:
Forever you and me.
