numbness

a cloudy day
a broken heart
clouds in the sky
tears in her eyes


a chilly night
a careless heart
no stars above
nothing inside

she takes a breath
she gasps for air
he stares at her
nothing to say


and all she wants
a word from him
but he is absent
...never speaks

i want to be happy
but i can't
i want to be sad
but i can't
i want to have snow
but i can't


i want to smile
but i can't
i want to cry
but i can't
i want to have you
but i can't


i want to fly
but i can't
i want to walk
but i can't
i want to run
but i can't


you want me to come
but i can't
you want me there
but i can't
you want me silent
but i won't
