turn around now
i knew you, smiles and all
always running from things
so far gone now
she sings to an empty audience
spilling her heart out against the pounding of keys
sweet melody of the lost
and the found
his arms like elevators
picking her up from the bottom
lifting her to a place where theres no
telling
theres no difference
between the ups and downs
words like tidal waves wash through
her eyes
through the eyes
of a girl who could always run from things
in her summer dresses with her long blonde pigtails
but years pass like emotions
so strong and numb
falling through the cracks
weaving in and out of hope
clinging to the threads of life
so frail
so paralyzed, boxed in
against these four walls
the smile is there for them all to see
laughter in the halls of confusion
until the lights go out and shes left
with herself
with the loneliness of not knowing
with the questions that never meant to sound like this
holding onto herself
this empty shell of someone who was once was alive and well
