Why Can't You See?

by Poetic Tragedy08   Aug 28, 2005


Why can't you tell
That this smile is fake
Or see pain behind my eyes
And my heart needs awake

Or these invisible tears
That slowly slide away
Or the blood that falls
And this price I pay?

Just look at my arms
See what I've done?
Or look at how many times
I've tried to use a gun

The deep cuts
The blood lines
Why can't you read
My needing signs?

I try every day
To tell you what I do
But you ignore my cry
Even when I love you

Do you think I'm faking?
Just roll up my sleeve
And see that every night
I try to cut hard enough to leave

I wish you could see
But I don't want you to feel
Because you've caused these
These scars that will never heal

Ya, its a lil short but i dunno..hope you like it!!
