The War Inside
The smile you gave me,
When you were falling apart inside.
I never knew,
How hard you tried.
Every night,
To stay, for me.
Oh, if I’d had known,
The war inside your mind.
I would have found a way,
To change things.
To delay,
The time.
Until it happened,
But I didn’t.
I didn’t know,
Not the slightest hint.
Looking back, you were always speaking,
I just couldn’t hear it.
Sometimes, you just gotta listen,
Before the shadow hits the peak.
Merged into an eclipse,
And all I could see was the moon.
I had your fix,
But we were singing different tunes.
Your flowers,
Bloomed in the moonlight.
While my eyes,
Were set under the sun.
A meadow of lifeless gems,
Sat there while I was
Hearing my own echoes,
Over yours.
Looking back, you were always speaking,
I just couldn’t hear it.
Sometimes, you just gotta listen,
Before the shadow hits the peak.
Merged into an eclipse,
And all I could see was the moon.
I had your fix,
But we were singing different tunes.
