Day after day
Filled with pain
Engulfed in anguish
Living in hell
No place to turn
No way out
No bruises visible
Yet I am scarred
My wounds I hide
Behind an illusion of happiness
While sitting alone in the shadows of my mind crying
Torn heart turns to ice
Freezing the soul
Shattering the mind
Crystallized tears falling from emerald eyes
Drying upon rose toned cheeks
Body shackled to a life of hell
Piercing words
Cutting deeper than any dagger could
Things of times past
Ones that will never be again
Fading like an old black and white picture
