Please tell me

How many tears must I cry?
For you to finally realise that I just want to die
I'll hold my head down in deepest shame
But my feelings won't change they'll stay the same

How many scars must I create?
For you to realise that maybe it's too late
I'll take all your punishment, hate and pain
But I can't promise in the end that I'll still be sane

How many hours must I stay awake?
For you to realise that I'm soon going to break
I'll pretend that I lay there without any fears
But really all I'm left with is too many tears

How many times must I lie?
For you to realise I don't actually know why
I'll say I do and tell you its not you
But really I don't know why I do what I do

How many times must I be sick?
For you to realise I'm not playing any tricks
I'll try to tell you its under control
But all that's left of me is anything but whole

Just how many times
Please tell me now
How many times
Until I get my goodbye

    Great peice, flows very well and the questions really add depth. however, the last stanza doesn't seem to fit, the comtent of it is good but the structure not so, just doesn't seem to fit. the rest of the peice though runs smooth and hold attention vey well with some great content.

    5/5
