The Brightest Silence

Bravery is but bottled fear,

"I want to spend my life with you dear,

tomorrow is brighter as long as we live today."

We'll live forever, as they do in Pompeii.

Present day is just a layover,

something small to satiate hunger.

Today is the day, it's finally here,

at least, it will be next year.

As I lay sleeping, making monsters out of mattresses,

my heart dancing to the beat of what my ear says

I think to myself, the future is never stark.

How lucky am I to be afraid of the dark?
