Holding the hand
Ever so tender
Unraveling motions
Of my heart swelling dry
I look up to your eyes
Vacantly gazing
And wet stains of sorrow
Can’t keep my serenity-mimicking lie
Darkness can blanket my face.
But the nightlight is betraying yours
I can hear you breath
But you
can’t hear my words.

Holding the hand
Ever so tender
Unraveling motions
Of my heart swelling dry
I look up to your eyes
Vacantly gazing
And wet stains of sorrow
Can’t keep my serenity-mimicking lie
Darkness can blanket my face.
But the nightlight is betraying yours
I can hear you breath
But you
can’t hear my words.
