Getting inked soon
To remember you.
A stain on my skin
Because the one on my heart
Was wiped clean
When you left.

Mum is in her room on Facebook,
I am across the hall in my own room.
In our family there's a hidden rule,
When one person cries, they do it in solitude.
So on nights when I can hear her cry,
I gently sit on my bed and stare into the sky,
I wonder if she can hear me now?
Even if she did, by morning it is almost as if I hadn't.

So if a tree falls down in the forest and no one hears,
Did it really fall?
So if I cried all night in my room and everyone pretends to not notice,
Did I really cry?

I guess I didn't cry....
But my eyes sure do make me out to be a liar.

I'm trapped in my own head.
The world is spinning around
And my breathing is hard.
My body is shaking and
I have no chance of waking
From this cage of fear
I have put myself in.
I put myself to sleep
Only to wake up
In this cage
Breathing hard
And head spinning.
And I can't feel a thing
Nothing is real
And I can't bring myself back
To the world of the living.
To the world I am barred from.
To the world I can only see
But never touch.
To the world I only watch in a dream.

Why can't you see
The beauty that I do
I swear you're so amazing
In all that you do

But you focus on your flaws
Scratching yourself with your own claws
But I see someone special
But you let insecurities boil like a hot kettle

Where you see weakness I see strength
Where I reach out you pull away with a feint
Where you see ugliness I see beauty
Even though you don't believe me when I say so, that you think it's my duty

It's so frustrating when someone is so special
But they can't see it?
Can you see what I see?  I hope you will, you won't regret it
