BLOODSTAINS

blood stains where the tears fall
feelings locked behind a wall
loneliness lingers as the thoughts stall
just as darkness starts to fall
tortured silence within this shell
so many people, but no one to tell
wanting only the peace of being whole and well
instead of this numb and lifeless, aging shell
turning inward to find strength inside
a glimmer of hope, a sign I'm alive
but it's cold and dark, I think I've died
cause there's nothing left, I'm empty inside
even the image in the mirror has nothing to say
she longs to go where the fairies play
I need a good reason to make her stay
but I look in my heart, and there is nothing to say
so I reach out for her hand to hold
but there's a wall between us that's shiney and cold
no one knows of the things untold
no one's there with her for her to hold
knowing I alone share her hell
I know what it's like to be an empty shell
so many people, but no one to tell
I should just let her go and end our hell
as I stand there staring, she starts to cry
without uttering a word, she says good-bye
as she fades away, I begin to die
leaving behind only the tears we cry
