Through the glass those autumn nights
The starlight glistens in your eyes.
I see it:
You push your hair behind your ear
While fighting back a lonely tear.
You're forced to face a world of fear
A smile cannot hide.
Between the arms of someone lies
The comfort you so seek to find,
Believe it.
The bleeding heart that you hold near
Grows calloused more each passing year.
With glass half-full you offer cheers
To sorrows you imbibe.
How I long to hold you tight,
To fix the wrong and set things right.
You need this,
One to cherish you so dear,
To make your anguish disappear.
In front of you I'm always here,
So close but out of sight.
You pine for him, your treasured knight.
You gaze with unfulfilled delight.
Between us
One who bred the atmosphere
Of persecution so severe,
And one for whom your heart does sear
But never will requite.
I long have held my head up high
And forced myself my tongue to bite.
I bleed this
Sentiment, my soul sincere,
Though you don't see me shed these tears.
You dream of someone else. It's clear
You never will be mine.
I drink to numb my ailing mind.
I cut away the scars and hide
Beneath them.
Paint my walls a color sheer,
Wishing you would only hear
The clamour of my soul when we're
Standing eye to eye.
The truth is I am not alright.
The smile that I wear, a lie.
I drink this
Bottle full of Everclear
And put the barrel to my ear.
I hope you finally find love here
In this note I write.
