What happens
when you're friends
but people think you're in love
and you're not?

What happens
when you're hurt
and have no where else to go?

What happens
when the world turns upside down
and you can't turn it up right?

What happens
when you think you're lonely
and you're not?

What happens
when people die
and you're lost without them?

What happens
when your heart breaks
and there's no sort of glue
that will fix it?

What happens
when you love someone
and yet you don't talk to them?

What happens
when the thing you love most
is the worst thing for
your health?

What happens
when you write
and sing
and say
what you're really feeling in code
and nobody listens?

What happens
when nobody knows
what happens?
