When you look at me,
Can you see the fear I hide?
Can you feel the pain I live with?
Can you taste the tears I cry?
When you look at me,
Do you know who I am?
Can you see the past in my scars?
Will you ever understand?
When you look at me,
Am I the one you love?
Is there a future beneath the angst?
Do we just need to be nudged?
Because I look at me,
And I'm scared to know.
I'm lost in the reality of it all,
Finding ways to let you go.
I look into these eyes,
The sparkle has faded.
My spirit died too long ago,
And my heart couldn't make it.
I inhale my last breath,
I turn to let you look at me.
I see the questions in your eyes,
But I'm too scared to breathe. |
