Waiting is Quieter Than the Scream

neckymonky

it’s myself
talking to myself
about myself

haunted by memory
hunted by music

waiting for the jump
already flinching

in a way
I am the one
turning off the light

children fear the dark
adults fear what’s real

still
we line up for horror

because the waiting
is quieter than the scream
