Can you see?

by haunted   Jan 6, 2010


Can you see the nothingness I stare at,
Eyes glazed over, face of stone?
Can you see my broken heart,
Hastily put back together?

Can you see the hesitation I have,
When you ask me what's wrong?
Can you see all the lies I've told,
Laid out for you to stop them?

Can you see the changes,
In my life?
Can you see my regrets,
And help me learn to accept them?

Can you see my mask,
Stapled and glued onto place?
Can you see the tears I cry,
When I've lost hope?

Can you see my trust,
That's been shattered by you?
Can you see the false hope,
That you've made me give in to?

Can you see these walls I've built,
To keep everyone out?
Can you see this ocean I've crossed,
So no one can reach me?

Can you see the love,
I yearn for?
Can you see these cuts I make,
To show you how much I want to leave?

Can you see the strength it takes,
To wake up everyday?
Can you see my disappointment,
When everyday, you won't care?
