and maybe she's a melody;
i mean you will never know if she is
broken or desperate or reaching for something

or just trying

and maybe it's because there's so much going on like -
we have become too loud or
she has perfected silence,
but quiet speaks of the truth more than anything, like -

there's a heartbeat in there that says she's not beyond saving,
just in need of noticing

i mean, there's a heartbeat in there that says
you don't even have to join her sad singing,
just that -

notice, notice, notice
and start listening
