Lies linger beneath the dust of
Broken Promises.
Tears of pain drip from the leaves
of a Love Lost.
My heart whispers the words that
fear holds back,
We don't mention it,
No one sees the falseness of it,
A fake smile to hide beneath,
A reassuring laugh to convince them all she's fine.
A mask,
Painted on by deceit
A tear,
Wiped away by hope,
But we don't see it...
Fragile,
Like a promise,
left to hold on to,
But forgotten much too soon.
Bitterness splashes on the flame of a Love that once burned.
A lesson taught by life,
following the footsteps along the paths we forget not to follow.
Because much too late,
we remember...
All the reasons and excuses,
Hidden by memories.
All the hopeless betrayals
We pretend to forget...
So no one mentions it,
Everyone plays pretend
we've all forgotten who she really is
But we haven't...
A mirror shatters her intentions,
like a shameless fall from the top of promising dreams.
A guilt-free moment that only lasts a few seconds,
Before we forget why we jumped at all...
A resounding question screams,
Haunting the shadows in the eyes of those who wanted to believe....
All the excuses,
Made to cover the blame,
Lain upon the shoulders of another.
A drop falls from the grips of reality.
Leaving a motionless memory hanging in the threads of hope.
Those who dried the tears of a shattered destiny...
The pain of regret,
Falls to the feet of one betrayed.
But no one knows,
Their eyes left closed to the pain of another.
Masks worn to hide the tears of regret.
They turn from the pain,
as if guilt would repay them..
Tears can't change the past,
Tears won't hand out the chances we need to change.
If she cried...
No one noticed...
If she screamed...
No one listened...
If she changed...
No one pretended.
Cause they never looked,
When she changes
Do you really think,
They would care enough to remember who she used to be?
Before the hands of fate get a better grip...?
