That’s enough feeling for a while nowHands shaking, sweat dripping from his browHe eyed the narrow closet doorThe monster in it asking him to feel moreTill he learned to not hearTo stay away and not go nearTo the heart that was locked insideChained down with the steel that was his prideHe was left to the silence that runs somewhere in-between morning and nightWrapped himself in darkness, tucked himself up tightHoping she would somehow find a way inBy the hairs on his chiny chin chinThrough the dreams he could remember notFor it was less disappointing if he forgotThat yet another night She didn’t fightShe accepted the lockMade no attempt to knockShe just didn’t see his needDidn’t dress his wounds from the nights he’d bleedIt’s silly really, all he wanted was a band-aidFor her to see he was dismayedAnd sit with him through silence that runs somewhere in-between morning and nightOpen the shades and let in some much needed lightOr just try…Not just accept it and walk bySay something comforting and wittyJust for once, try to shake him from his ridiculous self-pity
