Silent Screams

I talk circles finding truth.
I fall apart at the seams.
You see the tears I'm hiding.
I only love you in my dreams.

Confusion haunts my mirror.
Because I don't know who I am.
I know I'm in the wrong place.
And it's exactly where I stand.

You don't know all the answers.
I'm only hoping for a few.
To help clear me of my heartache.
To find the problems so untrue.

Because I am hiding with you.
In a frozen state of fear.
All the questions answered.
I remind myself how unclear,
   you try to keep your fate.

I remember your words hurting.
You never wanted me to feel.
I can't help this nonsense.
And I hope it's not for real.

I never forgot to let go.
But constantly you try,
To forget all of this loving.
I just break down and cry.

Sobbing I smile slightly.
Your eyes are met with mine.
I recall all of the words unsaid,
And convince myself I'm fine.

Because I am hiding with you.
I quit this game, before I loose.
Take away the reason.
Before the reason is to choose,
   Your words an avalanche, bury me so deep.

My heart is still so broken.
I thought that you should know,
I miss you more than happiness.
And I'm starting to let it show.

I'm trying hard to find the pieces.
So my missing soul will mend.
I'm letting go of pretense.
These letters then I'll send.

Look for me in time of need.
I'll always be your wall.
So you will have some balance,
If ever you should fall.

Because I'm hiding with you.
In a place we've been before.
Dismissing there is sturdy ground.
Behind the stage right door,
   Because we are always acting.

I'll love you regardless,
Of what you decide to do.
You remind of someone.
Who could never love me too.

I'm so afraid to loose you,
But promise me I never will.
And I'll just keep to myself,
Be thankful for my fill.

Goodbye seems so important.
The words you want to say.
But no goodbye in needed.
Too far I will not stray.

Because I'm hiding with you.
I cannot see light, but I'm not scared.
I know you will find me somehow.
And fix the pain that's reared,
     It's ugly head into my life.

Tomorrow seems like forever away.
You will hold my hand
And this lost little girl.
Will know exactly where she stands.
