If you listen closely
You can hear
The strands of my heart tear
Not only because you're not here
But because I do not know where

Silver white
Darkened hold
Being withheld
With what we're told
Stories of plight
Tears and sorrow
Begging God
For another tomorrow

I don't believe in God
But for you I will
Tonight I pray
For your soul to still
Thoughts of Light
Fears to cease
Hope your torment
Be released



I love you. You'll get through this.

With a broken heart I cried
Though sullen tears now dried

Listen.
Yes, you.
You hear it?
That sound, the drumming?
Constant thumping in my chest?
That is the rhythm
Of my love
For you
Babe.

The crushing weight of uncertainty
Can certainly be
The end of me
But why lie beneath
The lies and heat
We've lived and died
In subtlety
You're ripening
Now it's time to see
Him playing for pipe and string
He's not the type to sing

Hanging from the rafters.
