why do my words always have to sound like tears?
they come across as empty and dry
like I calling out for air when it's all around me
why does no one seem to listen?
as if they don't understand we're all living the same nightmare
as if they don't see how broken each one of us is
so pay attention already!
realize that when you look into that person's eyes,
you are looking at a reflection of yourself
why do I fail to see the resemblance of pain?
the people who read this must understand
the people who's eyes skim the surface of these symbols
they must understand
they must see
they must cry over the same things I do every night
my dreams, my nightmares, my love, my passions
there they all are
lined up and ready to face me
like warm dark sunsets that pass above
and the clouds make shapes of blobs
life seems to look like misery
but its only raining temporarily
