(Untitled) by Candace L. Johnson Broken by yesterday Wishing on tomorrow Hoping that the sunlight will somehow Find me in this darkness Hiding in this mask You think you know me so well I wipe away my tears Put on that same, fake smile And let you believe that I'm just like you But when I'm alone And it's finally safe I let the tears fall From my fragile eyes Each one reflects A memory that I hid away But tortures me inside The night fades into day And I still sit all alone Wishing I had someone To wipe away these tears Wishing I had someone That really cared Or at least was good At pretending Broken by yesterday Stranded in betrayal I know that the sun will never find me Because this darkness has engulfed me |
