Living

It feels strange just sitting here watching you fall asleep, so I'm thinking of leaving just so you can get some peace. I've seen so many people but I've not heard one of them speak, it seems we're all keeping it down just to hear you breathe. They say silence is golden, but no amount of wealth could ever make up for an absence of health. I'll make as much noise as I can without leaving my seat. I've never been more unaware of the presence of light, as it fills up the room and embodies the absence of life. This bed is the vessel that holds our attention so tight, as the same whispered dialogue carries us into the night. They say silence is golden, but no amount of wealth could ever make up for an absence of health. I'll make as much noise as I can without leaving my seat. You looked calm as you smiled and said I'm not afraid to die. Put your head next to mine and said I'm not afraid to die. I need one last moment to remember you by."
