Written for a friend who is experiencing a break up
To listen or to talk/to give advice or get used to the silence/hard to be positive when your world feels like it’s closing in/harder still to break down walls of rooms that you once let no one see/it feels good to be listened to/even better when your silence isn’t uncomfortable to the other person/
People heal from heartbreak in different ways/it doesn’t matter love is a powerful thing/you would think that if you never loved/it would hit differently than if it was concrete/love is complicated/but sometimes people get the wrong idea/they think love always looks the same/
Tell me what you’re feeling darlin’/or sit with me in silence/I understand the quiet/if that’s what it means to be there/I will go through fire/because I know it hurts like hell/the silence can be deafening/but it also can be so loud/when the world thinks listening/only involves talking/
People can be mean/when they’re just trying to help/but you can never take back words spoken in anger/in the silence/it allows us time to think/but it doesn’t fit the standard of description/of listening when you want so bad to be heard/when the world can be cruel/
