i am alone
it's quiet
completely silent
there is no excitement 
there are no loud noises 
but that's not what you wanted to hear 
is it?
you wanted to hear about how loud
depression is
how ironic it is for silence to cry out
how much air you can scream out of 
of your lungs 
before the world goes completely black
you wanted to hear 
about how much chests can swell 
before they break
and how a heart can feel everything 
before it shatters 
I am wearing a lacy pink bra
just for the sole purpose of wearing it
underneath that is skin
and underneath that is a beating heart
a heart that beats to circulate blood through my veins knowing that if it stops 
I die 
it continues 
day after wretched day
pumping blood 
through the tangled 
web of veins under my skin
and I can feel my heart beat
but why can't I feel 
anything else
why am I drowning 
in my own head
why is it so silent
