Death Embers

Another day, again alone.
No one called me on the phone
But they don't care so why should I ?
They can't stop the tears I cry.

They don't know about the lingering pain
Or the times I've felt so vain.
I'm living a lie behind the smile
That seems to shine all the while.

The fear of death, and suicide
The people who made me cry,
Laughed while I failed to die
The next time will be more than a try.

Friends can only care so much,
And there is only so much to be told.
Hurt and lies yearn to unfold.
And the scar from my cuts,
Grow deeper still.
