inexpressibleblue

I fall, but I�ll heal
I smile, and it�s real
I cry when I need to
And yeah, sometimes I need you.

You had that quiet look around your mouth,
As we hit the highway headed south
The sky was cold November blue,
I wanted to share the truth with you,
But I didn�t want your pity,
When I told you that he hit me.

And you didn�t tell me you were sorry
But you marveled at the story,
And you weren�t hungry for the details
I was far too tired to share.

I saw it in your eyes,
in your heavy-headed sighs,
in your careful, soft replies.

All your revolutionary words. . .
I know you think they�ve gone unheard.
But please understand, I try
That I have to turn away when I cry,
Just fix me with those pale blue eyes
And somehow know that I�ll be fine.
