your words are muffled
hidden under white noise
ocean wave crashing sounds
in my head
like my ears
are stuffed with cotton
and the silence
kills me
i let my eyes
caress your lips
and tease syllables
from the weight of your breath
against my neck
i have
loud conversations
with my hands and pretend
to understand
the songs that people sing
smile and wave
just smile and wave
and the silence
kills me
every time
