I want to tell you
A hundred things
A thousand memories
A million dreams
I want to tell you
The way I feel
The good
The bad
The pain I conceal
I want to show you
How my children grow
The smiles
The laughs
The love they know
I want to hold you
In my arms tonight
o dear sweet darkness
Will you swallow me too?
A part of the Ether
Or will I hear them through?
When they stand on the edge
Of the brightest of lights
And whisper their questions
Into their lonely nights
The circle of life
Shouldn’t end with this pain
Is there something wrong with me
Or does it begin again?
It just hurts too much
To admit that it’s true
So here I am
Talking to you.
A smile
A nod
To hear it’s all right
I’m full to bursting
with a billion things
A trillion seconds
& Infinite meanings
I whisper them softly
into the blackest of nights
Hoping you’ll hear them
just out of sight
I lie awake knowing
I’ll join you someday
Does the pain go somewhere
Or does it drain away ?
