Or do I keep it all inside
My heart aches with years of sorrow
Year happiness I wish I could borrow
Smiles run rampant on this face
Yet every moment I embrace
Is filled with heartache and with tears
From all those years that I had fears
The joys and the laughter
Are much less than what I have sought after
Why must I be cursed to live this life
Why must everyone cause me strife
These questions my mind ponders still
Yet no one soul can fill
This void in my heart
For why should she take part
In unrequited love to replace
Was it merely to save face?
My childhood she was to disregard
As an insignificant shard
Of unnecessary adolescent fantasy
Only to be replaced by adult-like responsibility
No one was to be my friend
Not until the very end
Why had you come to save this soul
Shall you try to fill this hole
That's burning deep inside my chest
To love me the way that you know best
Come and teach me for I am here to listen
And always after shall my eyes glisten
With the hope of tomorrow
May you erase my never-ending sorrow.
