R.U.O.K.

Late night, dark hall
Pacing back and forth
Secrets, stories
Whispers in the wall
Your memory in me overflowing
I don’t know where you are
Are you doing okay?
I know I’m not allowed to reach out
I know I’m not supposed to care now
But a part of me worries every day
Your face it haunts me like a ghost in every crowd
You’re so magnetic, try to run and don’t know how
Are you doing okay now?
Your pain, your grief
I feel vicariously
Where you hurt, it hurt me
And I’m still here bleeding
And now I know what they mean when they say
It’s not love if there’s no give and only take
