Bottled Emotions

You're still locked up in my head,
And I'd say that this love wasn't real,
But then I'd only be a liar-
That's not the way I really feel.

So I fell asleep with the TV on,
Because that's who I talk to when I'm alone.
I'll sink back into hollow dreamland,
To my head I shall condone.

Verses ring out in my pulse,
The tick my hearts and draw my breath.
My head is heavy and the words, mocking,
For silent pain succumbs my death.

But how could you be the reason,
When you've done nothing wrong?
Now I know, these bottled emotions,
Are what I've been hiding from all along.
