Keep Listening

Is it weird that I’d rather be alone?

Even though I crave your touch

Everyday I sit in silence peaceful calm chaos in my mind

I long to be held, to just even gaze in your eyes

But you aren’t here you’ll never be by my side.

I’d rather be alone to minimize the pain

All I ever bring is pain

I bring pain.

I just want you to understand
That I do really care

Bout that gleam in your eyes

The bounce in your step

I know something is amiss

When those are gone

It makes me worry about

What I’m over looking

Was it something I did

Some words that I said

So please, tell me what’s wrong

I’ll keep listening

As you unravel your story

One of sorrows and glories

Only then will I begin to see

You as you really are

A foreigner to this world

One rare shining star
