too broke to fix

by Ashe - Libra

alone here i lay
feeling my emotions sneak away
i gave it a try again
can't let myself open up
not you, not me, not anymore
i open my mouth
expecting words to stumble out
yet too pained to speak
wishing i could explain why
would you want to knwo why i'm this way
wanting in, out, away, close
pick up the phone
slam down the receiver before you can answer
knowing the voice that answers
doesn't matter
knowing it's you or anyone else
knowing its me and unable to change
making a mockery of myself
hearing what you say to your friends
must go now
wishing i knew how
can't let it out
opening up is not an option
i've tried, and it won't be the same
i'm too broke to fix
