I was laying down to sleep
In the house you once called home
And I heard your voice
Asking me what I was doing there
I don’t know how to answer you
And the others would think me crazy if I said this
But…
Are you here?
Can you hear me?
If I reached out far enough
Could I reach you?
I really love that this hints at a loss, but it’s not specific, so the reader can read their own ideas into it. It makes it very relatable.
Since I wrote it about something so specific, I didn’t really realize how vague I made it. But was trying to not sound crazy at the same time. 😛
