Alone

Dying inside without making a sound

Searching for love that cannot be found

Thoughts go in circles, circling the drain

Smile on my face so you don't see my pain

The invisible heart that no one can see

I'm starting to ask myself "What's wrong with me?

Is it so much to ask for? Does anyone care?

If I open the door will someone be there?"

I try to go on with life's day-to-day

I tell them I'm happy, I'm good, I'm ok. 

But nothing fills the emptiness inside

There's cracks in my armour I simply cant hide

So alone with my thoughts I sit here and cry

While little bits of my heart break and die

Then I pick myself up and wipe off the tears

And close up my heart to keep out my fears.
