can you


Can you hear what im thinking?

Can you hear the sound of my heart as it skips a beat?

Can you hear the sound of the music as a tear falls onto the pages?

Can you hear the sorrow in my voice?

Can you feel how I feel?

Can you feel my blood rushing?

Can you feel the ground break as you let me go?

Can you feel what I feel?

Can you see my pain?

Can you see that with this I have no gain?

Can you see that im trying to start over a new game?

Can you see the twinkle in my eyes start to fade?

Can you smell the sadness in the air?

can you taste the bitterness of this life?

Can you…?

Do you understand?

Do you still care?

Why not help me?

Fill my breath with air…

Help me try again…
