cornelia and jane

i hear the whispering, just out of view, still unknown, what's inside of you, outside your window, neighbors peer in at you, how can we care for you?, how can we hold onto you?, caught up in motion, swirling around, sometimes you're standing still, on uneven ground, too many sirens, they keep you up at night, sit back and hold your ears, how will we hold back your tears?, i hear them whispering, they analyze, but no one knows, what's lost in your eyes, sending the message, it doesn't get to you, how can we care for you?, slipping away, fade deep inside of you, but how can we hold on to you?
