Nothing To Say

Just shut up.

Nothing To Say

How is there nothing to say

To someone who you would want to 

Bare your heart to

Does this person already know everything

Or is it just easier to keep them in the dark?

Unaware of the noise in your head

So you don’t disrupt the noise in theirs

You tell yourself maybe they don’t care

You’re not exactly wrong...

They don’t.

All they want is the voices in their head

To run around their minds

The only cardio they’ll get.

They keep others shut out

Unaware that all they’re doing 

Is making the other close up instead.
