Dark Nights, Lonely Days

Dark nights
Lonely days
You left me alone
To drown in my tears

Each day spent
Missing you more
Wondering why you left
As you left, the color faded

You leave me in this waking world
Only to return in my dreams
Even though that’s not enough
I need to feel safe, in your arms once again

Alone at night
I let the tears fall
All day I force
A smile for my friends

Seeing you everyday
But not speaking a word
Is a reminder
That you never cared

I’ll never tell a word
Of what I feel
Instead I’ll write it down
In ink and blood

No one will ever know
That I cried for you
Every tear I cry
Reminds me of my pain

Every cut on my wrists
Says I was never good enough
I can’t die
Because then they’ll know I still hurt

I act as if
Nothing’s a miss
But if they looked
They’d know I lie

Putting up an act
Is getting to hard
I want to die
Just to stop the tears

Dark nights
Lonely days
I miss you
I love you
Goodbye
