Girl
by tHe HaPpY pHaNtOm

so maybe if i keep writing
standing here
trying to show myself to you
but i can't even show myself to me
where has she gone?
i think she's forgotten
the words she's supposed to sing
no one knows where she's gone
and i can't remember where to find her
she's only as loud as the most silent of thoughts
but i can't stop shouting
no i can't stop shouting
trying to find her
somewhere she's hiding in a place i can't see
a place where happy thoughts make the world
newborn eyes see everything at once
where everything makes no sense for the first time
she'll hand me an apple
and we'll draw pictures
and wonder who built the first flight of stairs
where you can taste sound
and smell thoughts
but i can't get there
all the little earthquakes keep knocking me down
and im afraid that girl is gone
and now im nothing
