I see you sitting there
Across the room...

Your typical family sits around and eats
while one lone member...

I wish I loved you
I wish I could say I do...

I pushed my hand down into my pocket
And pulled forth a folded scrap of paper...

Second thoughts?
Always...

He howls at the shimmering silver moon,
He howls not out of rage or ire...

This time bomb called my heart
Slowly swelling with emotions kept inside...

Ask not why my heart now roils in pain
Ask not why my soul cries out in agony...

You inspire these words within me
An endless flow bursting forth...

Tears building,
Heart pounding...

Sitting here with weeks to go
Sitting here rocking back and forth...

Once before I called someone my lotus
I called them my diamond hiding in the rough...
