Who do you turn to
when the stars go out?
And when the tears
soak your pillow
who's name is on your lips?
On a cross with your name
and dew kissed roses
With a grey covered sky
and a glass ocean to watch
What do you do
when you can do no more?
How do you cry out
when the pain and pleasure
is too much to bear?
With breezing curtains
over open windows
in the summer's humid heat
Is it love that gushes forth
or primal need animal in essence?
What feeds the chill
inside your soul
when you are alone
and feel so hollow?
A muted sunrise
with no birds to sing
What is it that
pries open your eyes
to see and be seen?
What pulls you into
reality after trying
so hard to reach fantasy?
Hollow footsteps
through an empty corridor
with no doors to open
no voices to welcome
What keeps you going
when all else is gone?
How do you keep it
inside so tight
when it seems like you
should be shattering by now?
The dripping of water
shallow yet so deep
freedom hanging over head
like a wretched curse
What secrets lie within
your soul that keep you
from calling out for that freedom?
Who is it that
walled you up inside yourself
and left you cemented to the brick?
A child no more
no more the man
Tell me
Why do you hide
when we can all see?

Live your life without regret, don't be someone they forget. Your heart is not yours to keep, it's yours to give...
