| things i cant explain |
takemehome
|
walking home alone because I fear conversation | 1 |
coming home to pour my heart out | 2 |
to the shower | 3 |
the hot water washes away all my tears | 4 |
no one even hears | 5 |
my sobs they are lost | 6 |
my tears they run down the drain | 7 |
crying for reasons I wish I could explain | 8 |
it’s not like me to shut myself out | 9 |
but I feel like no one understands | 10 |
I've reached for comfort | 11 |
but no one seems to soothe this uneasiness inside of me | 12 |
they can try | 13 |
i will nod and say I’m fine | 14 |
but it’s all a lie | 15 |
these arms encircling me | 16 |
are lost on me | 17 |
I don’t feel you anymore | 18 |
| |
how do I put on such a bright face? | 19 |
no one could notice until 2:36pm | 20 |
when my guard is down | 21 |
my sighs fall to the ground | 22 |
my eyes they glisten with these new tears | 23 |
you walk on by, confirm my fears | 24 |
you don’t notice | 25 |
you don’t care | 26 |
my silence to you is something you don't dare | 27 |
confront | 28 |
but all I want is for someone to reach out | 29 |
i'm slipping farther and farther away | 30 |
it’s getting closer and closer and each day | 31 |
might just lose all my sense of direction | 32 |
might just lose all desire to keep on | 33 |
my fears they are locked up tight inside of me | 34 |
and if I open up just a little, | 35 |
| |
I’m scared of what you would see | 36 |
