Immersion
In caverns so deep, an old scream echoes loud
to the point that could pierce any skull
And nothing I've found can quite drown out the sound
save for packing the cave 'till it's full
One small talk of love isn't ever enough
Tie your voices together in knots
And perhaps the gibberish wall of sound
will protect all that remains from my own thoughts
So if I ask you to stay for a while
To leave one more mark or to cast one more smile
Know that this time seemed spent quite futily
means everything in all regards to me Don't kid yourself
It is not like I need
just anybody
I'm not some sponge
who simply likes to feed
on everybody
Still this empty crowd
leaves me overused
without somebody
I find peace from myself when I'm with you So you call me pathetic and roll your tired eyes
in a mock of my sanity
but how many times has the mantra of "I
need a friend now" been thrown on me
And if it is wrong to want company along
when I'm tired of screaming at myself
then please lock me away
but at least for today
Let me bask in this friendship as my true wealth
[before] [after]
