Searching

I haven’t found you yet, You that keeps my soul warm in the morning.

I haven’t found you yet, You that keeps my bed warm, Warmth that reminds me that I’m not alone in this world.

I haven’t found you yet, You that looks at me and through me and around me, Looks that speak the only language that matters — Trust.

I haven’t found you yet, You that sees the demons that I walk with, The guilt that is the ocean I try to stay afloat on.

Sometimes I think I catch a glimpse of you, Sometimes I think I hear your voice, But like a distant echo, Like a beautiful dream that lingers just long enough to torture, It fades.

Shhh

Silence is the loudest sound, It's distracting, It wakes people up, It reminds them what life's worth, It reminds them of fear.

On the other hand...

Silence is peace, It is the absence of thought, It is you melting with the universe, It is the softest end, To the loudest beginning.
