It grows continuously, as each day passes, a little bigger
Longer, the distance it covers, growing into time
I have hope that it will break, that I will hear that one sound
I have not heard it, I have forgotten it, it has been so long
This quietness forms a canyon, many miles wide and deep
I am standing at the edge, looking across, over there afar you are
Do I ask for too much, is what I ask for completely insane
No, it is not, but still each day the canyon grows deeper
And each day we grow farther apart

You told me that you want to make me talk
You told me that you wanted to be my friend
At first, it was true, but after our time together, it grew
It was not so deep at first, and soon we built a bridge
It was small and would swing in the wind, but it could hold us
But that bridge has long since fallen, broken by the time passing
And it is just the two of us standing there at the edge

Then something changed, I look over at you, across the expanse
You were over there, but not alone, but with another
I do not know who, but you lied, saying you did not have time
I am happy that you are not alone, but now the expanse grows wider
I stand there waiting, hoping that nothing will change

Even after all that has happened, I wait for it
I wait to hear it, that sweet buzzing sound
Each day I lose hope, time passes, hope gone

I am standing on the edge, about to step off, hoping you reach for me when I fall
So, I just sort of feel this way right now. One of my friends tells me that she want to be my friend, but she only talks to me if I contact her first and she usually doesn't respond, but it is that way for a lot of my friends. One of the things I cannot stand at all is being ignored, even accidentally... but I have gotten better about that. But still, if she or any of them really want to be my friends you think they wouldn't ignore me so often.
