sit a while

come,

won't you sit a while with me

tell me all the things

you should have said

if you care the way you say you do

sit with me a while

while i show you just

a little sliver of my pain

and if you can't

if you let your eyes fall instead of meeting mine

keep your words and tie them into knots

taste their hollow flavor on your tongue

if you can't sit a while with the broken

stay in your castle

behind its cold walls

and don't think of me at all
