As I wake up from my restless sleep
and the loneliness shrouds me again,
I bite my lip and try so hard
to keep these useless tears from falling down
as my arms hold empty air.
Seeing the sun through my window
and knowing another day has come,
each day is harder then the last one
but I'm trying to find a way
to struggle through these long hours.
This loneliness inside of me
is like a gaping wound,
it makes me feel so hollow,
saps the smiles from my heart
till all I have left is this pretending.
Sometimes it takes my breath away
and I find myself unable to move
but I try to act like I'm ok,
wear a smile even though it's fake
but I don't know who I'm trying to convince...
everyone around me or myself.
