may be maybe

I wrote some lines with you in mind
waiting on the laundry this cold rainy day
I thought about it and took it back
why does it have to be so cold anyway?

I lied when I said
it. didn't matter.
lines drawn from the same basic string.
Could you care, maybe?

I thought things over again.
Realized that you wouldn't understand
you couldn't understand.
you can't, maybe...

I prayed you'd try
but I know it won't help
it can't help, you can't help
the rain over my head, sheets of blood.

Closing my eyes I find my strength
All I ever need is maybe.
