When the sun rises

When the sun rises and I don't make a sound.

When I'm lying here dead on the ground.

When you find me, don't cry.

I'm fine.

Just as I've always been, dead inside and now out.

When I said I was tired you, didn't ask what kind.

You never asked what was on my mind.

When I was sad no one ever asked why.

So,

When the sun rises and caresses my face,

When my life is erased and I go into deaths embrace with grace,

When I drift to space, I have won the race, my love you can replace, without a trace.

I do not matter to you,

Do not pretend that I do.

My mask was not that good.

Love me? I wish you would.

I wish you had.

When the sun rises, just know I'm glad.

I've finally got my rest, we both know I needed.

Don't pretend to be sad, be heated.

I've finally escaped the pain.

I know you're life is never the same.

What a shame.

My eyes and cheeks have no more tear stains.

And on my face, a smile finally stays.
