While all of us watch
Hoping that one of her prayers
Is about us.

everybody hurts, originally uploaded by Rufus Mangrove.

when the day is long and the night
the night is yours alone
when you’re sure you’ve had enough of this life
well hang on
don’t let yourself go
because everybody cries and everybody hurts sometimes
