As Real As It Gets

The drops of rain
On my tear streaked face
The screams of pain
As you put me in my place

The simple lies
Falling from my lips
The failed tries
And all those little slips

The broken smile
Resting crooked and uneven
The funny denial
To keep me from believin'

The inaudible sigh
Closing my eyes to hide
The silent cry
But to this world, I'm tied

The bloodied hands
Reaching out towards me
The crushed plans
Made by the eyes that can't see

The insatiable need
Of less reality than these threats
But I bleed
As this is as real as it gets
