Hide that pain,
Wash away that stain
Throw it all in a pail
Don't let them see you frail.
All this hurt
Going on in my heart
Rooted in me like a hut
On the ground strongly made of dirt.
They don't know me
They don't care about me
They don't see what's in me
They don't appreciate me.
Why such a life?
Why strike me a knife?
Why make me a wife?
A betrothed wife to suffering.
Just once I think they care
About me, about my welfare
But soon they too, can't bare
And turn away leaving me bare.
Speak your mind, dear
Let it out and don't fear
Don't be afraid to let out a tear,
Just take a breath and turn that gear.
How can I?
How will I?
How shall I?
How would I?
You tell me to speak my mind?
Don't tell me to do that,
Because my mouth can not handle
Half the things in my mind.
Open up my heart?
What heart?
I ceased having one once upon a time
Now all I have is hurt.
But, do not pity me.
Don't feel bad for me.
When you left,
When all of you left me...
You gave me time
To learn and yearn for myself
And I got comfortable in my loneliness
Now loneliness is all I know, it has become my joy.
