Sometimes it's the little things That cause the bird to cease to sing. I'm painting a clown's face on. To tell you nothing will go wrong. But I've worn this face before. It's deceit Nothing more Yet how I do this to someone so true Someone that's you It kills me to see you going down this hole But to know that it will also break my soul... To stay. To watch. To feel helpless. Against a crashing tide of depression can I remain selfless?
