melodramatics

a fleeting glance, feelings masked over by a funny face
look into my eyes, dont laugh or joke, just stare
what do you see?
what would you see?
what could you find if only youd look
if only youd stop pretending that this doesnt exist
but your afraid
afraid of what youll see and how youll feel
your scared to death of seeing into me
recoil from the fire burning in my eyes
for what you will see is a man broken, torn apart by love
rent in two by the merciless wanderings of his heart
do you dare, have you the courage to gaze upon my agony. can you stomach what i have become
look into my eyes once more,
see the emptiness behind my lids and the pain within my heart
hear my cry of anguish, do you hear
it is your name, your name which pours over my lips burning my toungue
can you stand the noise
do you dare to touch me
take care for you will feel me
all the turmoil the constant battle of love and bitterness and hatred
the bubbling searing cauldron that is my mind.
do you even think to touch me
of course no, i am nothing, broken, a waste
be gone from me, leave me to my agony, let me die in peace
make not a spectacle of my pain
preserve the tiniest grain of my dignity if any exists
and leave me be.
