Pain Ignored

It's beautiful, the way I bleed my tears
Dark crimson streams full of my fears
Open up a wound and let the anger run free
Slice and slice and get it out of me

All the pain and hurt I know so well
Have got me locked in my own private hell
Through a gap in the door I see light
But I can't get there try as I might

And I wonder who really cares?
No one soothes me after my nightmares
Nobody comes running when I scream
I even cry out as I dream

There is no way out of here
Chucked to the bottom, I fear
That no one can see me lying there
And the One who does see, doesn't care.
