 No, I cannot wake up,

No, I do not have your heart,

No, I will not meet the undead,

No, I cannot care anymore,

No, I do not know how to,

No, I will not search the mirror,

No, I cannot let go—right now or ever,

No, I do not think I can bear to look at you,

No, I will not open the door,

No, I cannot dream another dream,

No, I do not know how to do this anymore,

No, I will not be the midnight moon’s whisper.

No, I cannot get up off the floor,

No, I do not know how it happened,

No, I will not hang up my gloves,

No, I am not quite done

No, thank you,

No.
