Emptiness

You watch as she passes,
what do you see?
Nothing more than a reflection,
of what she pretends to be.

Look how she laughs,
her face filled with a smile.
Inside she's just saying,
"pretend for a while."

Look into her eyes,
You'll never see her tears.
The pain that she's hidden,
for so many years.

Look into her heart,
you'll see parts are dead.
She's used to the absence.
You watched as it bled.

Look at her memories,
none of them good.
She can't wipe them away,
You wish that she could.

You see how she's feeling,
She's screaming inside.
You witness the secrets,
She's forced to hide.

You long to see her happy,
to see the laughter in her eyes.
She knows how to fake it,
she'll fill your head with lies.

You know she'd never tell you,
that your deeds are done in vain.
She know's you'd never ask,
if there's even anything to gain.


Her pain has taken over.
there's nothing you can do.
You can see her,
but she can't see you.
