Prayer, I recognize your power
Yet I feel so unworthy.
I kneel & open my mouth
...yet nothing comes out.
I'm on my way to the mountain
...but with nothing to say.

They say time heals all wounds
Why do mine seem deeper than ever?
Why do I long for her?
I don't think I want her back
I've just been engulfed by nostalgia
I'm trapped, unable to move on
Why God?
Why me?
Please...
Please free me.

Smile, laugh, "thank you"
...I wonder if she'll wish me a happy birthday?
Smile, laugh, "thank you"
...surely she hasn't forgotten?
Smile, laugh, "thank you"
...after all we were best friends once.
Fake smile, fake laugh, "thanks"
...it's past midnight; she really has forgotten about me.
