Silence,
A good friend in a secluded coffee shop,
Somewhere between sane and on the brink.
We'd sip memories,
And eat truth stew,
And still be able to recover,
If it gave us food for thought poisoning.
We'd listen,
As we came to terms with ourselves.
Then I'd really know what I wanted.



Can I be your willful breeze,
Come to touch,
Your heart to ease?
