Skye

You hold it all inside, the pain you won’t show outside, you put on the brave face and feel you have to be strong, in a room full of people, but still feel alone. Demands and stresses that wear you down, they say they will be there for you, but are only there for themselves, they have first class problems, while you are in your own hell. Can’t contain the loneliness that you feel, with others that depend on you, your pain you have to shield. You have had so much that’s happened already in your life, you’d think by now; you’d have no trouble or strife. You hold it together, with a smile and songs, relieving days of before, when life was easier, with less cares and no one else to please. Always been giving, when will the taking end, see you break down, rips me to shreds, the endless bottles, and lonely nights in bed. You don’t want to think of the inevitable outcome, too much to bear, and deal with it, where is the strength you need to proceed, what else is there in left to believe. Broken promises that never came through, empty words that never had truth, the decision you make hold such weight, not wanting to think of that fatal date. All you can do is make the memories right, hold it in your mind, day and night, make it the best it can be, but remember I won’t leave, you have a friend in me.
