can you?

can you hear the sound of a broken heart?
the pieces that have fallen apart
the sounds that no one wants to hear
kept inside under plastic out of fear

i dont ask for pity
no i dont need that money
i just want your company
that empathy and your presence with me
to tie me over when im lonely

can you feel just how i feel
the words that i dont have
to describe the pain i conceal
from waking from a dream so real

i dont ask for sympathy
i just want to know if you're free
free to comfort this unattractive me
no broken heart's lovable
when it brings too much to the table

can you understand how much it means to me
to walk once again, to love you freely
this dream i have, it may not come true
you can call me the fool
for perhaprs only fools hope that
maybe one day, i will be able to love you
