don’t give up words I speak to myself with a heart that cannot hear you cannot understand the needs i choke back as you turn away don’t give up too proud to ask for help I walk down to the river because it’s not as it was planned to be tomorrow can’t be seen in dreams I held yesterday don’t give up when the world is your parade all you say comes in breaths furious with contempt words fall fused a life you cannot save don’t give up as the chill begins to crawl and slip from the arms that no longer hold me close because it’s easier for you to let go and drown my soul in kaleidoscope falls trying to save a life you can’t find muddy waters of a mind lost in the decadence as silence slips from your lips you can’t save what you don’t want laugh when love is a force you cannot feel
