What I Do

I walk around with this mask
To cover up who I am
The smile on my face
Is nothing but a lie
Can't you see beyond all the lies
To really see my eyes
See all the pain and hurt
To watch the tears fall one by one
No all you see is that mask
That hides everything all to well
When I scream for help
You only hear a fake laugh
I'm falling to pieces so slowly
And no one can tell it but me
I wont to take off the mask
But then no one would see me
It would be as if i wasn't really thier
And no one would really care

Deceit

I see your face everytime I close my eyes
That sweet smile just starring at me
I can't help but go towards it with love and care
But the smile vanishes and I'm left alone
Where did you go, why did you leave
Who will help me now, in my time of need
I'm left in this darkness, all alone
No one to comfort me, no one to hold
The smile i felt so warm and trusting
Turned out to be deceit just lurring me in
I long for that smile to return to me in the darkness
To brighten up this endless time void
But each time the darkness only grows deeper
And my pain rises more and more
I can't help but feel
That I was used from the very beginning
Now when I close my eyes
I know I'm going to see your smile
And i just ready myself for the suffering I'm about to face
As you leave me alone to die, in this endless thing called life

Finally Realizing

I sit here breath coming fast
Vision becoming blurry
Everything starts to go quiet
All except the beating of my heart
It starts to get so loud
The beating becomes so fast and unbearable
I start to scream at the top of my lungs
The tears just streaming down my face
Every time i close my eyes one image stays their
Your beautiful face with a innocent looking smile
But now i know the truth behind it
I no all the lies that are just waiting to surface
My eyes start to burn so badly
For they are the tears that you have caused
I can't take no more from you
Screaming at the top of my lungs how much i hate you
I run down the roads looking for someone to help me
To try and ease away this pain even for a moment
But no one see's me out here 
It's like i'm the only one in the world
Then i see you come from the shadows
Still holding that innocent smile
My heart beat is to much to bear
It's thumping is still all i can hear
The tears have a new feeling to them
And when i touch my face it feels odd
I pull my hand down and finally see
The blood spilling out all over
You've finally done the worst to me
All of your lies are finally killing me
Slowly on the inside first
Then moving to the outside
I try to scream again and again
But i drown on all the hurt
The last thing i see before i completely go into the dark
Is your face with the innocent looking smile
And now i know for sure
That all the lies are finally slipping through

He Died All Alone

He walks out the door
Doesn't know what to expect today
He feels the cruel stares
They come from everywhere
He just keeps forward
For back their is to much pain
He finally got to his job
Went straight to their corner seats
He saw that she was crying
All she gave him was a letter
He read it in front of her
But when he finished the door was closed, he was alone
He ran straight to his house
Grabbed the blade and her letter
He sat on his bathroom floor
Crying not wanting to do this
He sliced his wrist in every direction
And let the blood flow everywhere
He took some blood and put on the letter
I still love you even after death
He sat their and died
The found him their clutching the letter
His spirit sat and watched her
As she just walked away
He knew it was time to go
And passed on knowing she knew

It's Funny How Things Are

It's funny how things are
How you think things are one way when their not
You really like them
But you know you don't stand a chance
You try to distance yourself from them
But somehow ya'll are always hanging out
You know ya'll can only be friends
But yet you feel some kind of connection
Why me
That's the question you always ask yourself
You don't know what to do
Or how to go about things
But yet in the end
You still think that same thought
It's funny how things are
How you think things are one way when their not

She Dies

I hear a voice
Deep inside my head
It's telling me something
The voice gets louder
With each word it says
It keeps on telling me
That your dead
I wonna believe it
I wonna think it's true
But it's kinda hard
When i keep seeing you
Things get lower
Things get quieter
Your image fades
Oh it fades away
Oh my gosh
I think it's true
The death man's come
And he gonna kill me
That voice wasn't lieing
When it said i was dead
Oops thier it goes
The picture inside my head

My Pain

The pain is becoming to much to bare
It's ripping my heart to pieces
The memories wont stop coming
Bringing the un-stoppable rain of tears
The one thing I've never wonted
Is the memory of them all to hit me at once
I just wont it all to stop, to just die
Before they make me go insane with hurt
I sit here and just scream my heart out
And it only makes me feel worse
The ones I loved and hurt so badly
Are now killing me slowly and painfully with their memories
These tears burn as they fall off my cheek
For their filled with so much hate and hurt
My heart is beating so fast and uncontrollably
My breathing is speeding up and coming fast
It feels like i'm going to die so painfully
But then it recides and comes back twice as hard
I just wish it would die and go away
But it just wont no matter how much i beg

Her Life

She let him see her heart
Put down her walls for him
What she didn't know
Was that he stole that heart from her
She just kept on starring
Looking at the walls
As the days go bye
And her belly grows big
It happened in the blink of a eye
She didn't understand it
One sec she likes him
Then she's pregnant
Then he popes the question
Will you marry me
She says yes
Not even thinkin
Then she feels something
As he hands her his heart
She don't understand
But she takes it
Now she's married
Has a kid
On the verge of another
Life is going great
And it ends the same

From Darkness To Light

For the longest time I was in darkness
Not knowing which way was which, or where I was going
Then one day I saw something I hadn't seen in forever
I saw a faint light off in the distance, so I ran towards it
As I tried to get closer to it darkness would surround me again
But I pushed through no matter how much I got hurt
Pushing through the darkness I got hurt so many times
I wonted to give up over and over, then I would see that light and remember topush
I finally got close enough to feel from this light
But darkness came again and engulfed me
This time the darkness almost won it's battle
But some how I found the will to break free of it's chains
I used that will to finish the quick dash to the bright light
Once I got their I had a new feeling I had never felt before
Oh bright light how you wrapped me in your embrace
Made me actually feel and for the first time actually loved
I hold on with everything I have
Because you bright light are what I have been looking for
I just have to tell you something
I love you

Life

At times life can be so unbearable
Like your already living in hell
How you thought your life was getting so good that you were finally happy
Everything then comes crumbling down to the ground
Things you thought were only made up and could never happen
All happen to you at once never taking a break in between
You feel every rational thought in your mind leaking away
Like there's no help for you like your gonna go crazy
The tears you wont to just go ahead and come out wont
It's building inside like a ticking time bomb waiting to go off
Everything you've worked to get and to hold
All of a suden disappears and leaves you with nothing but emptiness
