Don’t Go

 

Faces seem so blank right now

            and people pass me by,

as I look into your eyes

            and gaze up to the sky,

with deafened ears

and frozen tears

            so I won’t have to cry.

 

And yet I can’t stop trying

            to hear the things you say,

‘cause it’s true you know

            I do want you to stay

and hold me tight

with all your might

            so I won’t be afraid.

 

Afraid to face the truth

            of what I truly feel,

the warmth and love for you

            inside is very real;

and still I hide

what’s real inside

            so I won’t half to yield

 

to the things I know

            I so terribly fear.

To be quiet a while

            and open up to hear

you look at me

and set me free

 

and yet

I shed a tear…
