You


It's not that I am physically ill,
But I'm not good at heart.
There's something that I can do to prevent this, and I will.
To show we're not apart.

I may keep my emotions inside,
To burn for eternity.
I know for you, my feelings I hide.
So I give myself my own sympathy.

I cry inside when I'm around you.
I don't know what I feel.
I don't know what to do.
My heart takes time to heal.

I feel like you don't care,
That you don't ever want to be there.
I feel there is something left behind.
Or maybe something I need to find.

There is something left in the past,
Because this all went by so fast.
I wish I could take back some things I say.
There is a consequence I will pay,
For not telling you how I feel.
Or letting you know that it's real.

The way your eyes look towards me,
I wish it could always be.
I'm sorry if this hurts you.
But I'm the one that's crying because of the actions that you do.
