you let them pound
on your walls of emotion
blocked them out
never letting them see
how much pain your eyes held
I wish I was as strong
as that barred up girl
dealing with everything
yet showing nothing
how can one person hold it all in?
I'd have died
crushed by my own toppling walls
as they squeezed my last breath of sorrow
out of my crumpled body
lying in a heap
waiting for warm arms
but recieving
nothing

when the sky goes grey
and the sun starts hiding
that's when it gets too hard
to hide the sadness in my eyes

what if we all
just fell over dead
and the world just kept spinning
around in our heads
we'd slowly decay
and turn into mush
and finally forget
that horrible rush
