Okay, say I'm okay.
Haven't had the time
to think about anything else
but you today.
Too busy running things
around in my head-
thoughts of words left unsaid.
Oh, won't I get up
and do something about it?
Can't fight back
cause I don't know how,
but I can fight back tears easily.
Laying down under the sky.
Not free, but trapped by lies.
An invisible force lies within my soul.
I want to leave,
can't let go.
Don't.
Touch.
Me.
I can't feel a thing.
Nerves burnt,
feelings warped,
calloused heart that stings.
Don't.
You.
Look at me.
You pierce right through.
My lies hide the hurt inside.
If you really knew.
