Molecules

Sometimes I wish I could
Just shut up

I wish I had no words
Especially as there is no one
To hear to listen to feel
As I speak into space
(Cause I hate containing this)

Talk over me, give me no room, quiet me
I miss my silence
I miss my peace
Yet my silence was fear
And as love grew near...

As I speak into space
Is anyone out there needing
Is anyone out there bleeding
Is anyone out there healing

I feel like the rain
That seeps into a home
Destroys treasures and warmth
Makes the known unknown
Forgotten unheard

Wish I were the rain
That quenches the earth
Longing for relief from thirst and fire
That nurtures the weary
Sooths the burning the seething

As love grew near
I found words
I found color and light
I found songs and life
Is anyone listening
Is anyone deaf from pain
Is anyone numb from blame
Is anyone out there
Is anyone out there
Is anyone out there

Quiet me,  shush me, hold me, warm me
I am floating in a vacuum
Losing all my essence
Can anyone hear me

Each word a lost waft of heat
Every thought a vapor of breath fading
I will breathe my last into nothing
Pray something births in darkness
In longing brings reconcile to life

As love grew near
I wanted to speak
Awaken the slumbering soul
That has been tortured and burned
I wanted to sing lullabies to dream

Strengthen the weak heart
That has been dry and used
Come back home
Rest in peace
Live in love

Is there anyone out there
