somewhere here, no please listen
see, the birds, the frogs,
the bees about the blossomed tree
to breathe, to feel, to be apart of this
the wind, the hills, the splashing sun
almost...but no
the truth lies there
just below the graveyard flowers
no one to dry your shivering tears
and hold you while you cry
no one to soothe your troubled soul
and see you through the night
the sky, the stars, nothings changed
but nothing will ever
be the same
since they buried your sister
with her baby in her arms
...
so hard the flowers
so hard the air
so hard to see the sun
...the light
it hurts my eyes
and it`s so hard to breathe
so very hard to breathe
...
somewhere here, no please...
