These strangers become family to some extent
we grow to expect to see them each day
and without words we share the most personal and intimate feelings
our eyes and bodies express what our mouths can not vocalize
and as each comes and goes, we hope for good news for one of us
but secretly we want it for ourselves
and as one families' nightmare comes to a horrendous crescendo
another new family appears in the hall
the same tumultuous journey awaits them
with one good day, comes three days of hell
with each moment we become more and more afraid to believe
afraid to have faith because the disappointment grows in severity
the higher we go the more damaging the fall
and it was just that, which brought us here
the fall
