Smile like you're not hurting
and cry in silent prayer...

No one can understand the feeling
The manic energy...

Your essence pervades my every thought
It is never enough...

Held in a cage
made of porcelain promises...

I hate you
I hate me...

I look for a way out of my self constructed prison
A small crack in the wall of self doubt and self...

I'm not okay and everything hurts
I have no one at my back...

Your smile is like music to my soul
The drifting melody in your grin a soft lilting...

I have to hide behind my smile
I'm too afraid to be honest...

As I'm sitting on the stone cold floor
my head resting on my knees...

A heart so full it just might burst
My love for you feels like the first...

I'm falling into a liquid abyss
a place of pure darkness...
