around me

the world has gone quiet around me because I pushed away the voices that made noise that forced me to remember i was alive

because i never thought of love as a need so i found reasons to starve myself of it and make distance from those who cared while i faded into a memory of a lost cause

now with no noise to fill my head left only with my thoughts myself

i struggle to love myself the way those voices tried to do so i push whats left of me away into a dark prison never to be seen again when there is nothing left who do i blame
