You

you think you know me.

You don't.

I know you don't.

Your hands have never
wiped away the tears that couldn't
stop falling.

Your laughter couldn't clear
the grey skies.

Your smile couldn't blind
enough of the darkness.

It's not your fault.
It wasn't your job to.

I could feel myself slipping through your
fingers long before you could ever understand

why.

Why?

I don't know why.

My mouth won't allow me to speak the words
I know I'd say to you
if I could.

I don't have the answers you want.
I don't think that I ever will.

I wish I could let my thoughts
tell you everything,
that you could hear everything
I need to say

without me having to say it.

It's a world full of wishes,
I'm sorry I couldn't grant yours.
