The Dull World

The Dull World

I only ever search
For one who speaks
The same as I
For common folks
Don't speak of darkness
Dreams, adventure or the sky
I speak to faces
Who would rather
Give the dullest
Of replies
I speak to bodies
Who would rather
Sit and lie until demise
Can no one
Understand
My language
How I shout and how I cry
How I laugh and how I love
And how I ask that you don't sigh
But that you breathe in every breath
As if your last was lurking by
Can no one hear these words I speak
Am I alone, am I alive

Not in my book it's not, I think it can be but it can also be the most poetic and powerful number alone, but every now and then you want something that reminds you of home, I don't mean companionship or love but plain and simple,...KINSHIP, I could live my whole life without ever feeling love if I could just find someone (gender is irrelevant) who gets it if you know what I mean, someone who understands me and doesn't want something, just... to simply exist with that knowledge, anywho alright man thanks for stopping by, we'll talk soon

Awesome write curious, I feel like that sometimes too,
You can't always find someone who can open up and have a conversation about anything or simply be who they were meant to be. Enjoyed reading allstars.
