Can you calm the ever ringing sound of emptiness that echoes through me?

Can you trace your callused fingertips across the strings in my wayward heart and
play it till its frequency matches yours?

Look me in the eye and tell me you see more than just shadows?

I'm singing bravado into the night
Morning I'm weak again
If only for a little while, I don't want to be running

Forget-me-not wishes whispered to the night sky
I've been wondering if the angels above have gone weary of my worthless pry

Perhaps that is the reason all my wishes are thrown back at me now

For I ask for too much

Always too much

(Can you envelope me in your sunshine too? Can you love me, too?)
