Answer

Stop it.
You’ve had seven thousand years
To talk and I think it’s time you
Shut up.
You need to learn what you did to another person that was
Just like you.

I cried so hard I drank my tears.
I thought I wouldn’t make it.
I still don’t know how I made it this far.
All I remember is
At night I looked up and screamed why
And I didn’t get my answer, did I?

I was a fool to think you ever cared.
You were always out of reach
Looking so
Happy,
So perfect,
Always picking out every flaw of mine
Until I was far too dirty to ever touch you.

I shook so hard I hurt.
I thought I could never make it.
I still don’t know how I made it this far.
All I know is
At night I looked up and screamed why
And I never got my answer, did I?

So just think
Think about this
And don’t ever forget

I cried so hard I drank my tears.
I still don’t know if I’ll make it.
You’re still here but
Things changed.
When will I get my answer?
When will I get my answer?
I’ll never get my answer.
