I knew deep within my soul

if anyone had ever got close to me

they would get cast into darken dreams

they would have to see all that darkness

they would have to feel all that pain

from their own darken past,

the cuts that get deeper as time goes on

they would feel the body aches

the dislocated of body parts

if they were smart

they would look the other way

not even walk my way to see if I was okay,

if they looked at me too closely

they would find I am somewhere else

my tears will roll down my face like a waterfall

but when the tears fall to the ground

they would make a big sound

like broken glass from the past

and when I was to talk

my voice would be sobbing with no words,

silence would be all they would hear

they would see something

was controlling me

taking over all my emotions

lighting up my breath

given extreme pain deep within

they will see they are going through

the same pain;

I know to keep all away from me

if I can but things are starting

to get way out of hand.
