Who's Drying Mine

Wednesday evening 5:46 P.M. September 16, 2015 Kansas City, MO Stephen Becker pen name Brian Stoaks "Who's Drying Mine" Wrestling with the thoughts of abandonment Fighting to believe that rivers do run Wondering why this heart still feels like a stepping stone Don't go without me, please take my hand When does my sunshine light my path towards tomorrow Shall I ever find my desire in the city of loneliness Does earthquakes that shake beds ever have my feet dangling off Let me be the lover causing the toes to curl With another birthday looming I'm only reminded that my future is empty Another year where my life is filled with hollow walls of silence No secretes to whisper to the ears beside me No reason to smile feeling empty inside Without friends to remind me that I breathe to dry their tears I smile to show them why they to have a reason to grow old So I'm living their life for them as they die inside as well So as I'm drying their eyes from their pain, who's drying mine
