Gone a long time ago

All alone 

no to save 

no one to hold 

Wanting out 

Never shout 

But always doubt

The words here

Never fear 

The outside world that never hears

The words spoken

But not broken 

They hold their promise

Never forgotten

the fear and pain 

They said would crack away

The mask still strong

Not hindering 

To hide the face behind 

The promise so true 

The ones you hoped to be forgotten out of the blue 

But they never did

The fear instilled 

Tears ready to spill

Never leaving 

The eyes so dim 

The light is gone 

Wishing for dawn 

A new day to wipe away the old 

It was told 

But never felt 

The pain inflicted 

On the soul 

Of the one that hurt 

Treated like dirt

Ready to kill

The soul they will 

But the body too much pain 

To fight the words

They cut so deep

Never stopping to see

If the person under the mask had lost their will

The will to live

The thing that keeps them going 

The thing that shows

Life is worth the woes

The sorrow and pain 

It takes and takes 

Nothing left

Only regret

They will only know

The mask that is shown

Not the face

That gave up long ago
