Painful Memories

I lock my feelings away
It will all be okay

It’s all inside
But starting to show
Everything that 
I was suppose to let go

My veins are bleeding
My eyes are tearing

It’s all coming out
And everyone will know
All the secrets
That weren’t meant to be told

I don’t belong to me
I don’t have my keys

I grew up to fast
And have nothing to believe
I don’t know what I want
Or even what I need

Please don’t ask to help
Because with myself I have to cope

Maybe its wrong
And its damn sure not fair
That I was given this life
To forever to bear

I live it alone 
And in silence I belong

I can’t find peace
And there is no hope
My feelings stay
After all the stories I wrote

The blood is pouring 
And the tears are flowing

It’s all out 
All the hurt and pain
But still again its here
And I know it will stay

So I’ll go in silent sleep
To let go of painful memories
