requiem

r.i.p, boy i never met

you took me by surprise

there was othing in those eyes

no sorrow

we couldn't tell

it's harder now

as i look into the woods,

"when will you be home?"

and no one says a word.

i hadn't heard

so i search for you in the sky

i don't cry

until they tell me

what went wrong

how i wish i could be

but a naive child

never can't be too long

forever might be a week

it doesn't sink in

no matter how long it's been

you're still coming back.

how could i lose you?

i need to find a way

for this to be my fault

i would take it upon myself

for you

no one else

in the movies,

they shed gentle beautiful tears

and even after years

my tears aren't gentle

not beautiful

it's been so long now

they haven't laid your shell to rest

"it's for the best"

and my troubles

haven't been shared

never spoken

after time they'll fade

i'll forget you

no one needs to know

what happened that day

fade away

so i smile

no one notices my pain

i don't want them to care

i'll pretend it's not therestanding on the stairs

trying to hold it together

don't say your name

no one needs my burden

"it's for the best"

i say to no one

"where have you gone?

what did i do wrong?"

and no one answers

even the night sky

looks back on me

without a sigh

and i cry

maybe someday you'll come back

out of the woods

dreaming's all ican do

i never want to be heard

in my sorrow without words
