I Spiral

spiral into nothingness
my heart sticks just like glue
because it cannot be opened
by anyone but you
my eyes are swollen shut
but i have more behind my head
'cause i see into them
while you mistake me for dead
you wish you would
you wish you would
now don't you
you should say
because i see into you
no you can't hide from me
but silence adds to nothingness
and life is short of meaning
so we stay silent
love's degraded
to something short of meaning
and we live life
a meaningless existence
'cause my life's short of you.
