Things Left Unsaid

You never thought it'd happen,
You tell eachother everything.
But what you never knew,
Is what is killing you inside.
If only you knew what was happening there,
Instead they keep it from you.
They do everything in there power to make you smile.
To see you happy.
If only you could see the other side,
The one that they keep hidden.
The one that they wont let anyone see.
You go on about how your life sucks,
When in reality, its nothing.
Nothing compared to theres.
And yet you cant do anything about it.
You feel hopeless.
Scared, and like a coward.
This changes your entire mind set.
Now you wish you never told them about your life,
And wish you knew more about theres.
So now your doing everything to see them smile.
To make them happy.
No matter how bad you wanna cry,
You know you cant.
You have to be the one whose strong now.
You have to be the one there for them.
I wish it could work both ways,
But you know it cant.
Hiding behind these fake smiles,
It just tares you down even worse.
Then it starts to make you ask questions,
About things youve never imagianed.
You wanna tell somebody,
But your afraid.
So then you ask yourself if you should continue,
But in the end can you follow threw?

Him

Everything I said was a lie,
Believe me I never wanted to make you cry.
I love you with all my heart,
But I was the one who tore us apart.
I realize now that what I did was wrong,
We've been dealing with this for too long.
I know all we do is fight and hate,
And now I want you back, but its too late.
Things were different before we met,
Now we seem to be caught in this huge net.
But was it right for you to hurt me?
And the sad thing is that you could never see
You couldn't see how bad it hurt
You are just a big flirt.
I thought I could trust you 
But how can I when your constanly lieing to
You say you want me back and everything will be fine
So I try it out and realize its just a waste of time.
Were we ment to be together I don't know,
But everyone is starting to see your little fake show.
They're seeing how bad you treated me,
And in your mind your saying who is she?
She's just another girl to mess around with,
You say you love me yet its another myth.
I wish I could be happy with you,
Yet you make me feel like I mean nothing to you.
You wonder why I'm always mad,
But you can never tell when I'm sad.
I remeber the day
When I never had to worry and everything was okay.
But things changed.
You've Changed.
I'm tired of pretending that everything is okay,
When the truth is I'm not.
You used to be that one I could trust and tell everything to
But now I'm to scared, and know it won't matter to you.
Your never there
You never seem to care.
Just why cant I be happy, and smile?
We were together for such a long while.
But I guess our time is up,
So I'll see you when your not fake.
I remember who the real you was,
And now I couldn't tell you who you are.
I cry myself to sleep thinking that one day things will change between us,
But my heart feels like its been ran over by a bus.
I wish to be that happy couple again,
But its hard when your off fooling around.

Me

Lost in the deepest shadow
Alone and afraid
I stand in silence
There's no room to be brave
Mangled and distraught
Any happiness will be forgot  
Afraid for the future
The past is long gone
No matter the outcome
All will be said and done
My strength is my weaknesses
And away I go
To never be in pain
And the abuse has faded
I no speak words
My silence isn't heard
The cycle begins
And I'm dead again

Someday

Someday, someone will know
The things that never show.
The hurt behind the eyes,
The reason for the littlest cries.
Someday someone will see,
What it's like to be me.
They'll understand why I'm gone,
They will know I was once strong.
Someday I will be forgotten, 
As my soul will lay rotten.
I'll be gone away, 
With nothing more to say....

Where Am I

So many places,
And still not done.
No one wants me,
Not even my own family.
If I would have just listened,
None of this would've happened.
Yeah I messed up,
Now no one cares.
They only see the bad,
Never the good.
If I could take it all back,
I would in a heartbeat.
I just wanna be myself,
And have the life I should.
In a real home with my family.
Not a fake one.
I'm sick and tired of being lied to,
I'm tired of getting in trouble for the dumbest things.
I don't want to live in a place where I'm not wanted.
Will someone awake me from this horrible nightmare?
I swear I'll be better!
Please will someone listen...
Just this once?

Why

Why hasn't she called?
It's been almost a year.
Does she not care anymore?
Is she that ashamed of me?
It hurts day after day,
More and more.
I just want her to show that she cares,
But most of all I just wish she would be my mom again.
If she would just tell me she doesn't want me in her life,
Then why doesn't she just say it.
Why does she make things so difficult?
Why does she constantly hurt me?
Can she not see what she's doing to me.
She left me and threw me out,
I was young and didn't know what to do.
She told the police she didn't want me,
And she doesn't care for me.
So they stuck me in foster care.
Why? Why would she do that?
I'm not that bad of a kid.
I've never done drugs,
Not once.
I've always gotten good grades,
And did amazing in sports.
But you didn't care,
You threw my life away,
All for one man.
