Open, Hoping

I've been open, hoping for days Shrugging off sleep Disappointed when I wake I've been open, hoping for days Curtains open, doors open while we change Last night I dreamt of dirty feet Would I remember seeing you You promised you'd come back for me I've been open, hoping for days Curtains open, doors open while we change Everyone leaves when you need them the most I know it's not about me, but it hurts being alone Empty rooms, quiet hallways when I'm home I've been open, hoping for days Staring into white walls Shadows forming your face I've been open, hoping for days Curtains open, doors open while we change Last week I went out to greet you The petals were falling but I just couldn't feel you Your body's underground You've run far from there by now Can you hear me Can you speak Are you happy Are you laughing To love is to set free Everyone leaves when you need them the most I know it's not about me, but it hurts being alone Empty rooms, quiet hallways when I'm home Is it a myth we can exist on our own Sometimes I need space Sometimes I need to us To be here To be held To be whole I've been open, hoping for days I've been open, hoping for days
