Colors more dull, than ever before,
How can it be, that smiling's a chore?
The lights are dim, and eyes even more,
But it's so pathetic, to the weight they bore.
The silences between, so loudly they roar,
So convincing, the grin I wore.
Chest so heavy, heart so sore.
So sharp, the pain to the core.
A dwindled flame, a closed door.
And in the end, what was it for?
Crying and screaming, tired and poor.
My, the hurt, is it also yours?
