Parle Silences
Strange to keep breathing for nothing
And before i go
I will wipe the light
From your eyes
That cast my apathy
Undoing me with a glance
I just wanted to walk in your shadow a while
Till you turned whole again
Till you no longer needed me
For your heart to beat
And i walked in your shadow
Far too long
Because when i left
I mistook your emotions for my own
When i looked up into the sky
What i thought were the stars
Were nearby airplanes
Making a landing
Their engines drowning
What was once silence in my heart
Now I'm nothing more
Than a shadow on the wall
Silenced in your absence
All i can do is watch the world go by
I've realized there are no perfect endings
In this life
That each of us
Has our own internal demons to fight
Not every demon can be defeated alone
But i stayed too long
When we parted i still needed you
That light in your eye
Still sparkled
Like the airplanes far above
And this rain
Fills the sideway cracks
I lie in the rain
Hoping to fill the tears
That you left in my heart
At least for a little while
I can pretend
It's complete once more
And for a little while
I can speak more then silence
What i need is a colder heart
To stop emotions
All i wanted to do was stay a while
And sometimes we never truly leave
Even when we're separated by miles
I can still feel your presence here
Somewhere in my mind
I hold each of your hopes
Each of your dreams
Close to my heart
Wishing for them
To become mine
Wishing i had never awoken
From this dream
Now I'm starting to distinguish
What is mine and what is yours
But it's not what i want
All i want to do
Is feel what you feel again
Without question
Without worry
I wait for the sunset
That will never happen
Waiting for you to return
So I can walk again
In your shadow for a little while
Past these broken branches
That litter the ground
Around the lake
Past the broken branches
That litter my heart
Like cracks on the pavement
Always waiting for water
To close their wounds
For a little while
A little while longer
