Myriad of thoughts,
the countless experiences
that become daily routine,
autopilot, numb.

Lost in familiarity,
that that is hard to swallow
hides within the realms
of the shadowed heart.

Momentarily it slumbers
only to awake
at fragmented intervals,
the sudden change consumes you.

As each static moment passes,
stop. Silence becomes so loud
it’s deafening.

And as the tears fall
and the mind wonders
at it’s impromptu breakdown,
life puts you back together again.

And yet..
the bittersweet music plays (in the background).
