Has it been days already
Confined within my mind
Lost the will to fight myself
My soul to me unkind
The cave of solitude closes me
I've lost myself inside
I want the world to look and see
The bruises that I hide
Unbending to your advances
And yet I hide and cry
I wish you'd break this cave of mine
I wish the tears would dry
Tired rays creep in toward these
Through cracks I want to close
Barely reaching through and yet
It doesn't cure my woes
I want to love and yet am scared
That you will leave my side
So I don't say hi passing by
Alone afloat this tide
Just when I summon will and grit
To hold you by the hand
And show to you my cave of fears
So you may understand
A wave of memories crashes through
Defenses I have built
A voice warns me to never dare
Disturb my ugly guilt
And so I say without a care,
When you ask me how I've been
It's been a peaceful Night my dear
Like one I've never seen.
