Darkness everywhere,
no light, no soul in sight.
I stutter, I struggle;
a hand kept pushing me down.
Is it someone I know?
Or is it my own hand -
dying, trying
to please everyone, to make them happy?-
He waited at the bottom
of the stairs to hold her hand again.
She waited at the top
of the stairs to embrace him —
but life got in the way...-
Her thoughts echoed in her mind,
her words echoed off the walls.
No soul to listen,
no human to talk to —
this became her routine, her life, her reality...-
His eyes were brighter
than any moon ever could be,
and his heart was darker
than those night skies
that didn't have any...-
Even if the universe is
cold and cruel
and steals you away,
I'll still wait, holding a rose for you...-
Voices, voices everywhere,
yet people are nowhere.
I beg, I plead,
I run, I hide.
I shush, I scream —
it grows louder and heavier inside my head...-
You set me free,
you let me go when
my freedom was never yours to take.
How do I walk, when I have
stumbled and fallen over and over again,
with you pushing me deeper and deeper...-
I have a garden full of roses,
a heart that was never brave enough
to even pluck one or give you one...-
Oh darling,
I fear time will steal away
before my heart can show you
how endless my love truly is...-
