Darkness
How many tears have I swallowed
As I silently cried for a long time?
That pain builds up to the sky
And bruises the entire world
Since then
The world was pitch black darkness
The nights passed and the days came
But it didn't get any brighter
I'm trapped in that scene
Buried under the pain
The shattered heart
It's screeching out again
Save me from this ache
No matter how hard try to escape
No one tries to see me
Not once
Not anyone
I've been hidden for long
But now I'm fading away
I couldn't hate anyone
So I blamed myself
And started erasing myself
Now I have no hopes for tomorrow
Tomorrow is getting farther away
The longer I wait
The more endless the darkness get
Past the long darkness
On mine cheeks that were always warm with sunshine
There was laughter that never ended
Can I go back?
Can I smile again?
