ꜱʏʟᴠᴀ

Only in the presence of absence;

Must only absence remind you of presence?

 

Must only war remind you of peace?

Must you only find me when I\'m lost?

Must you crave freedom only when seized?

 

Must only reason justify emotion?

Must only rhyme define a poem?

Must only experience count as a notion?

Must only a place refer to home?


Must I break before you notice?

Must I cut to prove I bled?

And just to prove I\'m not okay,

Must every thought be said?

 

Must every tear be shed from the eye?

Must I kill myself till I feel alive?

Must every breakdown need a why?

Must I rely on fantasy to survive?

 

Can we go against the rules just one time?

Because sometimes I really don\'t know if I\'m fine

And when words don\'t work and I can\'t explain 

Can you please just hug me instead of complain?
