I wish more than anything
To tell you everything
But i have to face the simple truth
That you couldn't care less
About it all.
I wish more than anything
For you to reap my truths
That lie just beneath my skin
The lonely being that huddles
In a dark nook in my mind
The one that's separate
From all the autopilot functioning
The day to day stranger
Operating my life
Managing to make it seem
Like i'm okay
But i don't know her
I am not her
I wish more than anything
That you stayed with me
That you were interested
In my trivial passing
But i was no more
Than a shooting star
Passing by one time
Catching your eye for
A glorious nanosecond
Before i died alone
Before i met the Earth
And collapsed to dust
Ancient history
I wish more than anything
That you cared enough
That you're just hiding
In the crevices
That you're still watching me
But who would want to watch
Someone's dusty rubble
Who would want that mess?
Your eyes are still trained
On the evening sky
Where i'm not
Where i never will be.
