I want to ignore
Everything you ever were
But that is hopeless.

I smile sometimes
Only in remembrance of
Funny things you'd said.

None ended well, few
That they were; but I am not
Ending badly now.

How much time is it
And when will it come to pass
When’ll I have enough
Of courage, to stand and speak,
And of love, to stay and care.

Can I hold on long enough
To see the end come true?
Or will I fall before I know
How it is ‘tween me and you?

I just don't know if
I never want to see you
Ever again, or
If I want to mend the wound
By opening it again.

Go to sleep, my child
Pay no mind to the dark night
Close your eyes, my child
I am holding you so tight;
I'll hold on with all my might.

I am not talking
To you, because you just don't
Know me anymore.

What are you doing?
Nothing is wrong here, nothing—
Stop trying to fix.

You could write a thousand words
but you could ne'er write the word
that whispers in the darkest night
that word is my soul.

Who are we when we're spacing out
Or watching someone mindlessly?
Who are we when we let go of it
Because we forget about stressing?

Who are we when we forget to be angry
And release the sad thoughts inside?
Who are we when there's just nothing left
That we feel we have to hide?

Will we find that we are words
Tossed mindlessly to the breeze
Will we find that we were a sigh
An smile seen only by the trees?

If you are honest,
You'll say the same as them all
That you never knew
The world was so big a place
With so much sadness.

Half the world does things
They hear or see or are told;
They don't really know.
