Hurts to say out loud
But I’ve always needed you
Now more than ever

Isn’t it funny
How slowly the minutes pass
Then blink, it’s all gone

As much as I try
I can’t remember your voice
But always your words

I am trapped within
almost interactions, close
to you but not quite

These lyrics tease me
Churning memories I hid
Fresh cuts on my skin

Blinding lights pierce me
Ripping into the center
Relentless and cruel

Broken wings can fly
It changes from day to day
Hurts a little less

Can’t see past today
To know where I am going
My feet cemented

The cover of night
Chased away by dawning sun
I see the real you
