i listen to you talking
with quiet, gentle words
but when i speak to you
my voice is never heard
why can't you see my mourning
or hear my quiet sigh
i only long to hold you
but now i only cry
you never really listened
to my hopeful scream
and as i stare upon you
you're hate becomes a dream
no longer are you sorrow
in my twisted soul
now you are the pity
that filled that tiny hole

sitting here, just thinking
waiting for your touch
waiting for the moment
when becomes life too much

waiting for the times
to remind me of the past
and those thoughts of you
make me cry at last

yet as i turn around
and look you in the face
i see how much i've changed
a being took my place

no longer am i scared
and rarely do i cry
and at this very moment
i do not long to die

a smile slowly spreads
across my tired face
and as i look around
i am not out of place

at last i do belong
sorrow cannot bind
i belong within this place
i hold within my mind
