Unheard Cries of the Ill

Illness takes the body,

doesn\'t have to take the heart. 

(Right?)

You came home

No tears, wasn\'t fallin apart

But I\'m sorry

I was blind

You still scram at night

But out of my own freight I fled--

I didn\'t want to hear it

Didn\'t want to feel it.


I kept you away,

It was my little secret.

Maybe if I lied enough

Tumors wouldn\'t take you to your tomb.

Maybe if I prayed enough you wouldn\'t have to face

your doom. 

But see- it\'s no room for a little girl\'s wishes

You battled your demons, and I had mine too.

I was defeated

Time caught up with me

It wasn\'t worth it- not admittin.



You were leavin.

I should have know

But no- I was too busy pleadin\'

I came to it

This was my apology,

Because-

I never sat beside you

Just inside of me

Selfish, yes, but you were the same.

I was here for your punches when you were mad .

And tell me daddy, when you cried, who held your

hand?

 

In the end you said I never gave a damn.

Listen- we thought we could surpass reality-

Went above our given duty-

Raised ourselfes high, as if we were that mighty.

We were on the same ship.

 

Yet you never really knew me.

Lookin in the mirror,

Whoa Who the girl lookin back at me.

I don\'t even know how you felt.

But you gone,

You went ahead.
