Take Comfort in the Silence

[vintagestiletos]

Take comfort in the silence
that hides in a low track
and fills all the spaces between thoughts
That bends and sighs to the decay
of her body's sallow skin

Take comfort in the silence
that disappears every time she takes a breath
that belongs to someone else
That gathers in her eyes
just before she falls asleep

Take comfort in the silence
Because tomorrow
may be too loud to bear
