Numbness spreads across my brittle bones,
Under my pale skin and into my broken heart...

It seems like every time I build myself back up,
you manage to knock me down...

My ears are deafened by slurring words
that try to form inside your mouth...

An ordinary day in October finds me collapsing
into a pile of leaves on the ground...

Promises,
oh promises...

Oh weary heart, please hush your weeping beats
and calm the storm that rages with your fears...

Numb
with the...

Do you remember the first time my tiny hand
wrapped around your finger...

I don't know why I'm scared
when I know we've been here before...

I guess I think more of you
Than you do of me...

Don't presume to know me,
then belittle my 'childish fears...

The sound of rushing
traffic zooms behind me...
