in the silence i lay, into empty space i stare.
walking along the lighted streets; aimlessly, quietly.
a million thoughts run through my head, and none at all, at once.
what is it that gets me down, i wish i knew but don't.
they say that time heals everything, now isn't that a lie?
just how much time does one need? a day, a month, a year?
in slumber i lie concious, so awfully confused.
in fact, im sinking deeper, so torn within.
so many feelings to convey, yet no words come out right.
how could mere words - thought up by man, truly express the feelings of the heart?
flowery descriptive language, bombastic and complicated words,
they could only scrape off the tip of how i feel inside.
in the silence i lay, even amidst conversation.
the silence in my heart is deafening; it tears and breaks apart.
i know not what i would do. i know not what i should do.
i'm a complete mess. please tell me what to do.
