If only

If only I knew 
What all this would do
I never meant
To be broke and bent 
I try and try
But its never enough
And just like that 
I call their bluff
Im broken and hurt
Blown off like dirt
But I hide away
The emotions I face
As if put on a hidden display 
And the only one who will ever see
Is me
My heart is shattered
My brain is dead
But secretly 
I pray and I hope
That maybe this slope
Will come to an end
Maybe one day my heart will mend
But the scars still remain 
And so does the pain
I whisper my fears
But no one can hear
So now Im trapped in a cycle 
Of blood, hurt, and tears.
