hidden

come out

come out and 

let me see you

no, i have to work

in the morning

come over

come over and

we'll talk

surely

you've seen enough

of me 

on this trip

but you don't understand

i only have 

so many times

to see you

(spoken behind eyes 

that have seen the

death of relatives of

close friends)

you know i'd say

yes

if i weren't so tired

(spoken behind a brain

that pulls me down

in the blackness of 

what i've created)

some call

to connect

some deflect

to protect

all love, but in different ways

if only 

each other 

could see the pain

behind the eyes

behind the brain

(no)
