she whispers
what could be as lonely as loud
so I keep breathing
tell me
you know where I live
you know what I’m thinking
when we can’t see above the clouds
and so these words
are the best thing you have
to know me
should I shout them
when no one has asked
because somehow I have made them
into something different than me
and let them go into your windstorm
pull the chemicals back from the fray
I give you all of me
and then I give you this
so I still write for you
because of all the world
you are the one holding my heartstrings
