~flickers of something~

Try to smile
Try to laugh
Just for a second just for a moment
Not trying
But succeeding
For a moment
Then it's gone
A light switched off
Stranded
Don't you know
This is how it's meant to be
I push back
No it isn't
But I don't know how to turn around
So
Lift me up
Don't break me down
Tell me your stories
But don't fill my mind with lies
Lies and daydreams
Crashing around
Back and forth
Day and night
Never failing
Never falling
Already fallen
...find the missing piece
Won't you?
Let me know
When you do
I'll be waiting
For you to tell me
All the secrets
Of the night
