IS THERE A WORD FOR

GRIEF, ETERNALLY?

FOR STARING AT THE CEILING

TRYING TO REMEMBER YOUR OWN NAME?

FOR SITTING IN YOUR SKIN,

SCREAMING INTO IT,

BECAUSE THIS IS NOT YOUR HOME?

IS THERE A WORD FOR

ENDLESS SILENCE RINGING IN YOUR EAR?

THE QUIET THAT RAMS INTO ME WHEN I SHUT MY DOOR

CLOSE MY EYES

SEE THE GHOST OF YOU TURN EVERY CORNER

SEE AIR WHEN I TURN IT TOO?

IS THERE A WORD FOR

SLEEP SO DEEP IT SINGS IN YOUR BONES?

I WALK AROUND WITH EYES HALF OPEN

BEFORE THEY ASK, I ALREADY KNOW HOW I AM

BEFORE THEY FROWN, I ALREADY KNOW WHAT THEY'LL SAY

BUT I'VE SLEPT ALL DAY AND I STILL TURN UP EMPTY

I CRIED ALL NIGHT AND I STILL CAN'T SEE

IS THERE A WORD FOR ANYTHING

EVERYTHING

I'VE FELT SINCE YOU FLED MY FLESH,

OR DID YOU TAKE THOSE TOO?
