Tell Me

This also doubles as a song. 14th of March, 2013

Tell me, darling, have you ever called

a name into the dark of night?

Tell me, dear, do you really know the pain?

Tell me, love, have you ever comforted the sky

when she cried?

If not, then good day, goodbye

because her thousand shades of blue

will lull you to sleep soon.

A lonely song for unexcused wrongs

fails to impress me. Unfortunately,

I can't help but sing along.

Tell me, darling, have you ever sung a song

that makes each teardrop note a waterfall?

Tell me, dear, do you really know the pain?

Tell me, love, have you ever comforted the sky

when she cried?

If not, then good night, goodbye

because she dims her abyss for you

to brighten the glow of our moon.

A lonely song about how the night's too long-

how many times I've heard, I've lost count,

but I'll keep on singing along.

Too bad, so sad, another lost opportunity.

What a silly thing to think that

it's only one's hindrance to be

one with a soulful song that pierces you through the heart.

"Sorry for being me."

Is that what you'd like us to say?

I'm more sorry for you, honey,

because you fail to see the beauty.

So tell me, darling, do you remember every aspect

of every happiness you never felt?

Tell me, dear, do you have that pain?

Tell me, love, have you ever comforted the sky

when she cried?

If not, then goodbye, goodbye

because her love's the sweetest I've known,

though her strange, fluffy friends bear impending doom.

So do tell me, darling, do you ever just feel lonely?

Tell me, dear, am I even sane?

Will you tell me, love, that it's a silly notion

despite my not having a lucid grain?

If so, I'm flattered you'd lie

but don't you say goodbye so easily.

Sorry that all I do is cry.
