Detached

So detached from the world
Someone screams but
You've curled your heart to me
You're no longer listening.

You don't care what I say
No one can help you now
Why don't you let me in?
I want to hear your voice again.

Why do you cry?
Why do you cower?
No one is here to hurt you
No one's around.

You lash out at me
With words, and fists, and hate
But I'll never leave you
'Cause no one would know my pain.

Why can't I hold you?
Why can't I help?
'Cause you're always falling
And there's no where to grab.

Eventually you'll hit the bottom
But not before you go through Hell
But don't even worry
You'll be alright in the end.

And I'll be there waiting
Until you return
To hold you as the convulsions stop
And somehow convey that you'r my rock.
