Poem I wrote for my friend Lotus when her dad died earlier this year. |
What do you do? When the tears won't fall? You're all torn up inside and bleeding And you feel so small Where do you go? When there's no place else but home? Yet, that's where your pain is coming from And you still feel so alone I wish I knew just what to say To ease your heavy load But all I can do is watch and pray Because I know he's gone Some hearts can never be replaced This I know for sure Some hands we'll never hold again Some wounds don't have a cure Some of us can't break down right now You're showing no emotion But I know you well enough to know It's just to cover your confusion Who do you call? When you're up against the world? It seems like there's no one else to turn to Nothing matters anymore How do you smile? If your heart is on the floor? Even the people who are closest to you Have walked right out the door I can't pretend to know Just what you're going through There's not much I can give away But this much I can give to you Some faces we cannot forget This I know is true He's the love you never will regret The reason you feel so blue Some of us can't afford to cry But you can't be strong forever Better let those tears fall down It's better late than never When you finally decide You can't go on pretending Let it all out from deep inside Remember I'm right here waiting |
