You cry

You scream

You laugh

You shout

You know all of these


The feeling you get when you've been betrayed

The things you know when they call your name

The things they meant when they turned away

The times you remember when you laughed and sang

All of these gone like the wind


You get scared when the tree knocks against the glass

No one to reach out to for when you scream

Alone at last

But this isn't what you wanted at all

When you said you wanted to go


You hope one day these bonds will be mended

How the light will shine again but it never returns

How you know you should've kept your word

How you feel when you cry and scream and laugh and shout

Whenever you do it, the feelings you know will return, but you hold your own for now
