I always wondered if anyone

understands my pains

or feel my needs to be free

this old  darken life isn't eased you see

my pains that bring on more rain

while my heart bleeds out like ink

into the sea of darkening dreams,

Someone, somewhere

let me know you care

let me know you can love a broken spirit

can anyone read what it is my heart bleeds?

why do others look at me as if I am different?

can you understand my loneliness

and all my despairs?

all anyone ever does
is look at me as an eye cone

an idea of something from the dark

that has a broken heart

but I am human just like all

I have just been cut deep within me that bleeds

I had once loved

but that was some time ago,

I know deep within my mind

if anyone looks at me too closely

they may see the one who has given me

a life of darkening dreams ;

can you see all my tears that fall?

can you see me at all?

hiding behind the walls of the dark?

look at the crying ravens fly out from my eyes

oh, looking glass of my pains of yesterday’s

when will you go away?
