Details Matter
It hits me fast,
but fades so slow
It stings and pulls and lasts,
not that you'll ever know
Did you hear my tears?
Can't you tell I'm fading?
Quick turn the gears,
soon we won't be waiting
I'll say goodbye while you hold tight
You took too long to notice
I've given up on the fight,
I've forgotten what hope is
"I miss you, come home soon"
But you speak into an empty room
"too little, too late" I whisper
I wanted your attention, just a sliver
No more tears to cry, no more slack to give
I promise myself I'll be different for as long as I live.
