I See You...

I see you so lonely, your withering away
Inside you are bored, and you want to play
but play you cannot, for there's no one around
inside your a dreamer, not much hope to be found
Slowly you pass through, every trying day
hoping to escape, you keep running astray
longing for freedom, you come alive at night
where there's no one to judge you, whether wrong, whether right
Imagination keeps your soul going strong
patience keeps you waiting, as you pray it wont be long
you want a companion, but it's you he cannot see
so on you must go, although you do not agree
Your past has left you, feeling alone and afraid
memories pass through your mind, of those who have betrayed
inside lives a child, screaming for someone to love
this longing need for security, your afraid to speak of
For a moment you close your eyes, forgetting all your sorrow
maybe things will be better, when you awake tomorrow
you refuse to give up, not without a fight
another day has gone by, as you turn out the light
