Elucidating Questions

From my window I can see the lights

I’m fine I tell them

I don’t know what else to say

Telling everyone I’m fine

But who knows the truth

It was never just you who showed me the darkness inside

No one meant to show me

But I find it in the breaks and the way it gets sharp

When they sing the words unlocked from their heart

But sometimes the words mean more to someone else

Sometimes the sound never quite belonged to you

You had to give it up

I don’t see anything here in this dark place

But I know that when the clock strikes

I’ll still be alone

And they’ll all be excited and enjoying all this effort they made to make it a day

But it’s not for me

I’m not invited
