Wasted

It's not fair that you should have to
do this alone, with so many people
oh so close I'm reaching out my
hand but you won't take it

Like water slowly seeping between the cracks of fingers
most of her is wasted
wasted on the past, the wasted past she's always facing
taking care not to betray the "I'm OK" image that she maintains
it's fake. she knows it and I know it
but it's something we don't say

she drifts, listless, through a sea of forced pretense; less than
perfectly acted happiness and in a sense I think i get it
because moving on is healing; moving on is growth
Her pain is part of who she is, she can't just let it go

It's not fair that you should have to
do this alone, with so many people
oh so close I'm reaching out my
hand but you won't take it

Can't you see that you're not the problem?
It's not your fault that your past is haunted
If i believed in God I'd smash his face on a rock
and it would never be enough

And I just don't know what to say
Sometimes I feel like I'm talking to a wall
I've tried telling you "it'll be ok
it's not your fault"

bricks and mortar frame a house but they don't make a home
nails in wood hold it together but they don't make it whole
sand stains and scratches from the floor boards grind it to the bone
what's left may look like where you lived but it is not your home

Childhood is missing from the annals of her history
Where should've stood friends and family, stood only misery
Where should've sounded laughter, sounded only listening
Where once stood innocence, now stands indifference
