There’s something that I need to tell
While you stand inside my doorway
Looking down upon my being
The way a parent stares at a troubled child

Silent rage screams my name
Nothing now will be same
I sit ..wait…and hold myself
A doll that sits upon a shelf
Nothing left for me to say
I felt you read my thoughts today
Damaged by the things unsaid
The child of trust has long been dead
This life lies broken on the floor
Locked behind a secret door
Twisted
Bleeding
Silently screaming
This torment never seems to end
When I think an end begins
I feel you moving close, again
It’s hard to see through all these tears
I’ve held my tongue throughout years
I plead to make this time the last
I can’t endure and feed this madness
I’m slowly tearing at the seems
I can’t pretend it’s all a dream
No one here to make me wake
These scars will never wash away
These memories won’t fade to black
Nothing can be taken back
With all of you here by my side
I’m still alone deep inside
This is my burden
My torture
My hell
When there’s nothing left to feel inside
I’ll have no more secrets to tell
