Without a Sound

Spitting my name,
I see no more
your quick victory to fame
while I hit the floor. 

And I realize I'm dying,
since I can't feel myself living.
So, I reach for the light,
as I head towards the door.

Turning towards darkness,
voices call for my name
Back to the light,
I see no shame.

While fighting the struggle,
I feel no pain,
it's so simple.

The bottle sits there,
without anyone around,
you could just take them all, without a sound.
swallow them whole,
without anything to wash them down.
Then, you could die, 
without a sound.
