I stare at you, you stare back, 

Your gaze is cold, hard and dark.

My being is numb, my mind is spiraling, 

You’re so unkind, so very frightening. 

Let’s sit down, let’s talk gently, 

No screaming, just a chat that’s friendly.

Hear me out. Give me your attention, 

We can do something to reduce this tension. 

I’m trying to make you understand, 

Why can’t you see? Why torture me? 

I’m in tears for what you are right now,

I wonder if you’ll grow soft, if I’ll no longer frown. 

When is my sunshine going to rise? 

When will tears stop flowing from my eyes? 

See how much I’m ranting,

I’m running away so hard, I’m panting. 

Maybe I should gather strength, 

Maybe I'll take one more deep breath. 

I’ll search for hope, we’ll become a team, 

We’ll make a comeback, one that’s subtle and dim. 

But I’m afraid. My heart might crush again, 

I can’t break again, my peace is already hard to maintain, 

Please make me smile so I won’t be in despair, 

The end to this turmoil will remain my only care.
