And it's alright
Calling out for somebody to hold tonight
When you're lost, you'll find a way
I'll be your light
You'll never feel like you're alone
I'll make this feel like home

I just want to know, please tell me
What were you thinking when you heard me crying at night?
What did you think when you never saw me smile,
When you heard me call myself those words,
When you saw scars on my thighs, or did I hide that well enough
When I wore shorts to the beach?
Why didn't you help me when I needed help?
Or can it be possible you didn't notice at all

seas of sometimes amidst winds of want
which would you choose?
years of yearning surround cans that can't
and scripted praise meets cryptic prose
like measured fame meets metered foam
safe, as safe is, as safe does
takes that quiet into its loneliness
and waits

the face of fiction shakes more from most
what did you choose?
flirting fantasies can damage dreams
where beaten fruit finds sweetened juice
and sudden breath finds sunken dirt
wish, as wish wants, as wish wants to be
loves that surprise so unconditionally
and waits

and we wait
