Sundown Syndrome

LETRA

Sundown Syndrome

Please don't get answers from eyes,
you know that mine can't lie
quite as well as yours.

Just let the spare moment flow,
rounding steps as I go
through the open doors.

Please don't deflate from a sigh,
I'd hold still every time
but I'd start to shake.

I wander around for days,
wondering what I'll say
when they want the truth.

You will never know how hard I try,
to keep from waning while waiting at the start.
The depth of every touch is real as you need,
but words don't do any favours for me.
