Inside of Me

Agony reaps at my soul 
                   everytime I watch you walk away
           My whole world crumbles cause you cant stay
      My eyes will not close at nights when you are not here
            The tears fall neverending when no ones here
        and when in the presence of others im hard as stone 
                   smiling perfectly for all the world to see
                          They think im doing just fine
                              enjoying my time alone
                                      but im not fine
                                        im not happy
                                         Forlorn I am 
                       crying on the bedroom floor,
                              with no will to get up
                              Screaming in my head,
                with thoughts of sorrow ,regret and dread
                                  im barley breathing 
                                 im pretty much dead
                  my soul is burning and turning to ash
              the memories haunt me of our perfect past
                  I guess happiness isin't meant to last
                                    blown up in a gust 
                        everything I love just blows away from me 
                                 I jump and try to grasp it
                                   but all I catch is cold air
                            How can pain this great be real
                          when its the only thing left that I feel
                              but still I wave my magic wand 
                        and somehow I smile so noone can see
                              What really goes on inside of me
