I reached for words when the world was about to fall

because i didn't know what to say or who i was trying to call...

you... you! you!

I was trying to call you!

Can you answer my call?

Why did you have to leave so soon?

I don't know what I did or anything you heard,

the world is falling and i'm at a loss for words.

Words, words, words,

groupings of letters

nothing more, nothing less

but why did you make some sound better?

Like love and hope over greed and crying

or action and answering over quiet and silence

I meant what I said,

but you always liked pretending that meanings of words

were different in your brain

and for what it's worth

I thought I could do the same

but I can't, and man,

i'm tired of these games.

All I want is for you to come back.

Is that too much to ask?

Answer me please, it's just a simple task

because words are all I have now

and i've been trying to reach heaven

and clearly through what i'm saying, I don't know how.

Wow, i'm sorr-
