I can feel the numbness, it's coming on again
and gradually depleting what I did not defend
The sources they are many and all of them verbose
cacophony symbolic of everything they know  
They're speaking in a language they thought I'd misconstrue
but I have been decoding by watching what they do
Remember how you got here, I ask myself a while
and more so why you stayed then, to go the extra mile
But when I pose these questions, I start to hear them quell
their little tiny voices in hopes that I will tell
I've surely been too careless in giving out my words
forgetting they are taken the moment they are heard
But if there's no reversing, no backwards other way
I know I must continue and say what I must say

We sit silent with racing minds
And speak up with nothing to say

I feel like I'm screaming into the emptiness
and no one
not even my own echo
is there to keep me sane
and hold me when
the darks get darker
and the pain won't fade
.i'm writing to say i don't know what to say
..i'm hoping my scribbles make sense anyway
...the lines on the page have been warped many times
....because of the blotting from ink that won't dry
.....the mess that i've made with both of my hands
......reflects every part of the life i command
.......meticulous reader I hope that you find
........the leftover words in the back of my mind
.........i'm losing my grip and my energy's low
..........so take up the pen and put down what you know
I wonder if you talk to me before you go to sleep
If everything we ever made was truly mine to keep
I think about it constantly, the way we said goodbye
But never fully understood and sit here asking why
And did you know that every day I go back to that night
When we were in each other's arms and you were holding tight
I tried to speak but could not seem to have my way with words
And then released the two of us, we flew away like birds
And even now it's only when I look into the clouds
That I can feel you falling down like rain upon my doubts
I'm dancing now as we once did so many times before
In hopes that you will come to me and stay
*forevermore
