The nights are heavy

As I'm heading back home
I can feel the sadness
slowly creeping in
the way water takes its time
overflowing a sinking ship..
My nights are forever and a day,
somber and heart-rendering.
I wish I could say that, once,
I was a happy little one,
that everything in my past did not
steer me towards this very present.
If eyes are a mirror to the soul,
then all I want is for someone
to look intently in mine
and catch some of the pain
that's trapped far behind.
