jacqueline stem - everything

[alaklainiel]

i read the letters that you did not send
start to finish, beginning to end
saying nothing is saying something
and saying nothing is saying everything
everything everything everything

i wrote a novel that you will not read;
the spine's unscathed and the pages clean
& i guess it's okay, it didn't say much
anyway
and i guess it's all right
i just couldn't sleep that night
so i wrote down everything
so i wrote down every little thing

and how did we both let it come to this?
i guess we both knew it'd come to this

this is the song that you will not hear
i could play it loud but it'd fall on
deaf ears and
i guess i knew it would
come to this
starting to finish, beginning to end
everything everything
