DEAD, but i'm still breathing
Wounds have healed but I still feel the pain
Standing, but I feel faint
I'm too tierd but i'm still awake
You see right through me, but do you see me?
You've hurt me, but i'm sure i've hurt you more
you're here but I never see you
You call, but we never talk
I pretend i'm ok, but i'm still not
You're blamed and it's only my fault
Succeding, yet I still regret
He cries for her, and she cries for him
You're not one to take for granted but I sometimes do
I thought I was lonely, but i'm not as much as you
I try to cope, but it still doesn't fill this void
I don't think you realize how much I hurt
I abandoned you when you needed me the most
My greatest fear yet I applied it to someone so close
I helped you dig that hole deeper after all
I smile, but still these tears fall
ah, it's a lovely poem!...it reminded me of my first univ boyfriend, it did hurt, but now i could smile, he's always a part of my past...thanks!
