Know

Can’t you hear me screaming?
I know, to the outside world, I’m silent.
But you know me.
Can’t you hear what I can’t form words to say?

Can’t you see me bleeding?
I know, to the outside world, I’m made of stone.
But you know me. You know me.
Can’t you see my blood surging?

Can’t you see me trying?
I know, to the outside world, I’m obstinate.
But you know me. You know me, like no other.
Can’t you see how Im reaching for you?

Can’t you see the way I love you?
I know, to the outside world, I’m heartless.
