Never Forever

bottle it up, don't let them know

shove it down, don't let it show

how much it hurts, how deep you let them in

it'll go away eventually, although I know not when

maybe tomorrow, maybe never

although nothing can last forever

one day all I've done, and all I've been

will be gone, even this patchwork skin

ignorant, oblivious, or just uncaring

it hurts just the same, leaving me despairing

intentions told in the best of terms

rebuffed without a response, guess this will help me learn

to stop wearing my heart on my sleeve

or maybe not, for it's not the first time I've been proven naive
