The Door

You lonely alone I can hear it through the door Your faint voice flickers Like you’ve been hurt
before “I’ll hold you”, he says, “I’m here As long as water makes up sea I’ll hold you, I promise,
I’m here Till you learn to lean on me” The house feels you quiver And the tremble in your voice
When he tells you plainly That he doesn’t have a choice How quickly the air grows stales You’ve
got no new words to say How quickly the air grows stales You’ve got no new moves to play I feel it
through the walls I hear it through the door You soundlessly speak Lying on the floor: “How empty
your lung How hollow your tongue What could you have left to say? You’d leave me here, You left me
there You’re taking your love away” I’m sorry, my sister I don’t know what to do I don’t know what
to say My heart lies on the floor beside you
