Emptiness inside a spirit so broken
So many words left unspoken
Red rimmed eyes with a heavy heart
A tender soul torn apart
Tears at the tips of lashes, ready to fall
Feeling like you lost something
You never really had at all
A choice always is to be
Light or darkness to surround thee
A wonder if I will ever learn
Each time I let someone in
The hurt eventually worms
Sharp talons have ripped my flesh
Exposed and open the wounds so fresh
So back behind my walls I must go
To feel safe and secure
And let the tears flow
How many more years I ask to the wind?
To forever be hurt by someone
Whom I called a friend
As I wait for the tears to dry
I put back on the mask
And go on with my life.
