Curled into a ball she sits,
Too shocked for a tear to leak,
Her heart a stone
Dragging her down
To a place of forever frowns
Rough and tumble
Lay her down
Wouldn't you lift her frown?
Red blood now turned dark brown
She may never turn back around
Hearts so heavy never make a sound
As she slowly sinks to the ground
Waiting for her love,
Waiting to be found.

Someday I might be a story,
Maybe, just a fragment of your history,
But it is the present now,
I will seize it because I know,
Time waits for no one,
Moments never freeze,
A touch from the breeze,
And the memory is shattered,
Like it never happened,
But for now I have you,
And you have me,
And we will be,
A "you and me".

I'll meet you by the carousel,
Where we'll kiss and never tell,
And when we leave we'll keep looking back,
Neither of us wanting to forget,
The good time we had.
We would text and we would call,
Do that same funny dance,
But that's not all.
We both know we're going to fall,
Neither can admit that right now,
It's better to just stall.

You won't run,
But you can't promise to stay,
We won't know if this feeling will fade away,
We spoke and we lay,
In the darkness of the day,
Arms and legs tangled,
As time passes away.

I'm in the middle
Of standing still
The crowd continues dancing to the beat,
I feel like I'm being knocked off my feet,
But no -
I have been stuck where I stand,
The same thing again, since I was 10.

Nothing has changed,
Dad remains
A wilful child.
Mum has left
My sisters are depressed
Emotions left undone

I sleep with my eyes open
My mind like the dawn
I think -
How much longer will this take
I am tiring of being the only one stuck
It's like I need a one tonne truck
To tow me away and away

I need to thread carefully,
Hush, I won't make a sound,
I don't want to run you to the ground,
And if I have to fall, fall slowly,
Don't let me down to harshly or too hard,
That's all I can really ask.

I'll take you eyes wide open,
Lips blood red bitten,
I'll run blindly through,
If it meant I'd find you,
On the other side of that door,
Don't run for the hills,
Even if I tell you to.

I would like to hope with you,
Be close and lean on you,
Maybe count on you too,
When I'm feeling down,
I hope you'll never push me around,
Dance with me, twirl me round,
We'll go up, round and round,
I promise - I'll never make a sound.

Every once I'm happy,
Twice I'm sad
Ice slides down my back
Don't do something you'd regret
My hands tremble
From the weight of my life
I am caught in my sentiment

Twice unhappy
Joy come back to me
Fly free on high winds
The damp, dark earth beckons
I push myself off the floor
Hark the shadows that awaken
Gone is my ephemeral sentiment
