You Would Never See Me Cry

Weaker then
Stronger now
No fear in the depth of pain
Only resolve and deathly steel
Wishes and love’s sparks
Now broken bridges and stale tears
Fulfillment once sought, now falling ashes

Back when both our lights shone
They shone so big and bright
Encompassing, engulfing the dark
And then yours faded, but mine still stood
Tougher still, fighting shadows
Chasing the loneliness back to nothingness

No fears anymore
Somewhere up in that place
A backbone is grown
No matter how much it hurts
How much you try to bring me down
Or the ocean suddenly catches fire
You would never see me cry
