You said to me once
When I was walking down the street
That you don’t know where your place is
Everything doesn’t make sense
That when the phone rings
No one answers

I quickly responded
With every word in the world
Of power and strength
You just sat there and looked downward
If only I knew to shut up

We kept walking
You said that there is one thing
One thing that keeps you from falling off the edge
You said, “Your existence gives me hope.”
Then everything stopped
