Zoning Out
April 11, 2010
Someone’s talking
I’m not listening
It’s not important
I’m thinking
About my life
Where did it go wrong
Was it with the first guy
Or my first lie
Was it with hatred
Or with the first pain
Was it with the wrong touch
Or a great hug
Was it with those tears I didn’t cry
Or with the thousand of tears I did
Was it holding a hand
Or not holding a hand
I don’t know
All I know is the hatred and numbness
The want to be happy again
Happy to be alone
Alone in the dark
Alone with my mistakes
Alone with my urges for companionship
Alone with the silence
