Confessions

She sits on her bed Remembering each thing That has been said She lights a candle for each tear Finds there too many to count collecting in jars that hold letters Finds that pain Continues to take up home Scared of the person who She needs to be Scared of the person she has become. She's longing for something Though she doesn't know what. So she'll wait in the shadows Till that one is somehow Revealed too. And pain knows her aching And knows how she cries out Yet he continues to to take Up her in her withering soul. My "life" is no "life" at all Its simply me trying not to fall And now that I"m drowning In despair, no one seems to care. To say that you understand Or that you have been there too Its like telling me that you have Walked in my shoes Maybe you understand But you've never been there I doubt anyone wishes to live in despair. don't give me your sympathy Because I will just throw it back Your words are just empty sayings. pain knows no bounds And sorrow has no end And feelings are unwanted While I drown in pain You watch from above Shouted down sympathy that pours As blood I am an empty soul Life has seem to lost its hold. I'm numb from the inside out And I am void of all simply put I am dead and Pain has lost its solid ground.
