Hopeless

Silence grows between us like the roots of the weeds in my mother‘s garden Gardens that glisten with morning dew drops on each petal of the flower He loves me he loves me not It’s a twisted game And if love is a game someone is bound to get hurt We can stitch the reopening wound but baby We are bound to run out of thread and a dull needle won’t get us very far So why try and glue the broken glass We can’t hide those cracks I know deep down somewhere there are flowers blooming in your heart But we both know those flowers aren’t for me They are with another girl tucked behind her ear well she smiles at you the same way I did When you scarred that tree with a heart and our names Watching the airplanes turn into the shooting stars in the night I cannot control the course of the shooting stars And I cannot make airplanes into something they are not We turn our puddles into ponds And baby My lungs are filled with unspoken words I am drowning in my own thoughts And my damns are bursting with overflowing emotions within But I know Making wishes on chemical trails is hopeless maybe we are just hopeless ******************************************************************************
