TRYING TO LIVE WITHOUT YOU


I tell the world I am doing fine,
that I'm taking it in my stride,
but those are lies that  I tell the world,
the truth stays hidden deep inside.

Oh, some days I almost make it,
and I say, here's one I'll get through,
then I bump into a memory,
and I'm lost in thoughts of you.

I face daily reminders of you,
no matter how much I throw away.
And traces of you fall around me,
no matter how I busy my day.

But I keep it all to myself ,
I'm not ready yet to share the pain.
Somehow in the hope it all goes away,
so that I can live my life again.

Still, there are times I ask myself,
when I'm telling friends my lies,
do they hear my whispered pain,
do they hear my silent cries?
