These are the moments
When the walls fall down
And I can’t hide anymore
It feels so cold and empty
Standing here alone
That open space
Always left behind
Eating away at the heart of me
Nothing ever lasts forever
But maybe someone could stick around
For at least a little while
Long enough to help me feel
Like I’m not some disposable thing
Not worth the struggle keeping
I don’t need a lifetime
A grand, enchanted love affair
Just someone to listen
And do a decent job
Of pretending to care
