It's in moments like these
In the deafening silence, alone in the dark...
Sitting on the front steps
Watching the sunset...
This is when things don't go right; as planned
And another child is put down...
S he's sitting in the corner
H e pretends not to see her...
I wish I could travel to the stars
Tour the constellations...
Broken hopes.
Empty promises...
She will stand
Despite your words...
