Numbers Extinct

A hundred tears, I’ve cried for you
A hundred years, I thought I’d see you through
A hundred questions forever left unanswered
A hundred tears and then a hundred more

A thousand words that can’t get through
A thousand lies, I tell to myself
A thousand heart beats until I sleep
A thousand silences wrapped around me

Can you hear me? I’ve asked a hundred times.
Are you near me? I’ve whispered a thousand times.
Why did this happen? I turn over a hundred more
The silence kills me every day of my life

A hundred people miss you every day
A hundred of your smells engulf me every day
A hundred pictures scattered on my floor
A hundred years all alone

A thousand times I’ve thought I moved on
A thousand times you’ve brought me to my knees
A thousand times the memories buckle me
A thousand times I’ve whispered:
“I’ll love you for always, and I’ll see you one day”
