That the smile you see is on my lips.
That my heart is full alright
Just full of dark darkness
It is strong and it is pounding
I could explode anytime now
That today I don’t want to talk, can’t talk
That I just want you to hold me,
My head on your chest just hold me
I want to listen
Listen to my thoughts; please don’t say a word
That the food you just served me would drive foodies crazy
That sadly I can’t taste it
I have lost my sense of taste; I can’t taste
You
I have only the taste of darkness on my tongue
That you can’t read for me tonight
That I can’t bear happily-ever-afters
Not tonight
Tonight boy doesn’t get girl
He hates books and she loves warm coffee
That you can’t hug me tonight
That I can’t unfurl my arms to let you in
Too many broken pieces held together by a fabric of darkness
I am not sure they can hold your squeeze
I hug myself to myself holding them in place
That tonight I just want to be calm
That I want to try talk to myself
If I am still enough I can get into myself
Meet this darkness, have a word
Get to know each other
How do I tell you that I am sad?

In your embrace I feel your sadness and in your eyes I see the pain
The world may not farthom but I,I alone feel the weight of your sadness.
Each tear,each sigh,connects with my inner being
And I wish I knew what remedy would bring back the the glow and joy of a happy heart.
Only but for a short while my dear will the sadness linger
For in the nick of time, like a whirlwind
The billows of immeasurable happiness shall overwhelm you
O only how I wish I knew how
