Directions - Aphasia

I am, asking in volumes

I am, straying and confused

Lost in, a world of the silenced,

Falling short, with voices of the abused

Why do, we only come together

In times of despair?

Why do, I only get an answer

When I’m in need of repair?

I’ve been reaching in every direction

I’ve been shouting with every inflection

I’ve been reaching in every direction

Bleeding with imperfection

I can feel the pity leaking from within

I can feel them prey on my sadness and binge

Leaching on my emotions

And sucking me dry

You’ve made me hollow

My body and my mind

Have begun to divide.

I feel you

You heal me

But then you strayed from me

I felt you

You healed me

But left too early

(I have nothing left)

(I have nothing left)

I have nothing left

I have nothing left to give

I am but a shell of a man

Left for worthless, and no one understands

My body and mind

Have begun to divide

I feel you

You heal me

But then you strayed from me

I felt you

You healed me

But left too early

I feel you

I feel you I felt you

I felt you I felt you touch me

I felt you care and I believed

I felt your heart beat

I felt it sync with me

And when you left me

I tried to be strong

But my insides fell apart

(I feel you)

I felt you touch me

I felt you care and I believed

I felt your heart beat

I felt it sync with me

(I felt you)

And when you left me

I tried to be strong

But my insides fell apart

My body and my mind

Have begun to divide
