the person

Addition by

done in haste;
Life displaced,

Close my eyes,
see their face;
Was there something
I didn’t say?
Was there something

I’m lost in a dark place

can't be paid for
not with diamonds

Kings can't send the tide back

sends me to the floor
a hundred faces laughing
I can hear them mocking
the echo of their scorn
I feel a fool
but sometimes its the silence
that hurts most of all
