Something

She couldn’t feel darker
than she does today.
She looks away,
then struggles to say
something,
anything,
to explain it away.
Something,
anything,
to make him stay.
It doesn’t matter when she lies.
It doesn’t matter.
It doesn’t matter when she cries.
It doesn’t matter.
She couldn’t fall deeper
than she does today.
She hits the floor,
then searches for
something,
anything,
to explain it away.
Something,
anything,
to make him stay.
It doesn’t matter when she lies.
He’ll never hear her.
It doesn’t matter when she cries.
He’ll never see her.
Lifted up by her fear,
she’s too high to hear.
He’s shouting up to her.
He’s so in love with her.
It doesn’t matter when she lies.
He’ll never hear her.
It doesn’t matter when she cries.
He’ll never see her.
