Dead Inside

Can't possibly tell u

That you're the reason behind..

That when you called me

My heart died for a while..

Was anticipating our chat..

But you came late..

Then I started thinking..

On my own tragic past..

That was when it all came back..

And it hits me hard...

On the verge of crying..

But not letting tears flow..

It's still within control..

But for how long I don't know..

Please stop being nice..

Or both will have to pay the price..

Putting up a fake smile..

In front of everyone else..

How long can I hold this up..

To fool all but myself..

Gather up my thoughts..

Calm myself down..

This is just another stage...

I will not be drowned..

A strong lady rises

Soon that will be me

When I can let go of all

And soon be set free...
