The World Is My Stage And I Know All My Lines

I took their smiles
And made tehm mine.
Divert them
With a joke, a smile
When you make them laugh
They don't ask
About the darkness
In your eyes.

LAy so still, unmoved
Unchanged, uneffected
As the life slowly
Leeches out of me
I take my tears
And don't allow them
A chance.
If one escapes
My composure, my walls
My act
Will fall with them/

Dissociate from each
Memory
That hits me like
An electric shock
The convulsions in my soul
Are more than I can bare.
I looked into your eyes as you
Killed my spirit and stole my innocence
You just stared right back...

Hold on
As my heart breaks,
Silentyl,
Pull on another sweater
To try to warm the cold
Chill that blows through my
Soul.
That, or to cover my scars.
The secrect shame
The only evidence
Of the crumbling
World inside of me
My silent screams
Fill the soundless air
And I shut my mind
To escape your face,
Your hands,
Reality...

What's the point
In reaching out anyhow?
I am alone
No one can
Understand.
The burden is too much
To bare alone
(Too bad I don't
Have a choice)
