The End



You've picked yourself up,

just to be knocked down

drank from an empty cup,

when thirst for love came around



Gave freely of your heart,

when others wanted your soul,

made yourself make a new start,

Stopped, when you wanted to go



You've died inside, when you found you couldn't have life

Swallowed your pride, in the name of love

absorbed words that cut like a knife



Smiled on the outside, while inside you profusly bled

Acted like you were alive, not allowing anyone to see that you were dead



Tried to shine on anothers world bright, when yours was filled with rain

Cried alone in your bed at night, silently screamed out from the pain



Waited alone on a cold windy night, vividly recalling her face

Said you were wrong when you knew you were right, accepted leather, when you really needed lace



Searched for answers, when you didn't even know the questions

Been the singer and the dancer, when heartbreak tunes were the suggestions



And today my friend, One see's you agonize in hell,

while you pray to heaven above,



For...The End
