(quiet).

So now I am

alone.

And I know

(I know,

I know)

This is what I've

Wanted all along.

And it's so

quiet…

And maybe someday

The voices in my

Head will calm

To a dim roar,

But I've been silent

For so long

And they can't stop screaming

In my brain

And the cacophony

Threatens to deafen,

And I'm supposed to find

Myself, but all I

Want is her

In the morning,

In my arms,

But she's always running

Somewhere, I want

To tie her down

Just to spend some time

With her

Alone;

And I wonder

If her mind is as

Unquiet

As mine

But her thoughts are MYSTIC,

Full of light,

I would listen to her

Tell me all day

About her ruminations,

And she's here in my head,

(and I wonder if she knows

how very precious she is)

And I'm trying to

Remind myself

Why I came here…

I've been seeking peace

Since I can remember

And I'm making coffee

Just for me

And I'm playing music

And singing

At the top of my

Lungs,

And I'm unpacking,

Taking out the trash,

And I know

(I know,

I know)

I just got here...

But God,

The

q u I e t

Is

So

LOUD.
