happiness
laughter
joy
expressions of the heart
filled with nothing but grief
if i laugh
it's because i'm mourning
if i smile
it's beacuse i'm hurt
if i love
it's because i hate
if i sigh
it's because i'm dying
you say i don't care
utter words of truth
you say i don't love
when was your first clue?
you say i never will
i pray to God you're right
what's the point in laughing
if their are tears in the end
what's the point of smiling
if a frown lingers from within
what's the point in loving
when it ends in lustful sin
silence beckons madness
reaching through hell's gates
living produces hatred
gladness will have to wait
you can't see what i'm feeling
you can't shallow what i'm thinking
you only see yourself
and how you want me to be
it's your world view
take what you want
believe how you may
see what you can
but don't bring me into it
i can't stand this dream
a fantasy of a poor man
when povery still gleams
i'll mourn in the ecstasy
i'll cry while you delight
i'll die while you live
my daytime is now your night
