Acidic Tears

Night after night
the tears pour down my face
my eyes burn with each acidic drop
that falls from my broken eyes
Slowly choking on the words
I said to you,
wishing I could take them back
My heart shattered in tiny pieces
my cheeks tear-stained
my eyes red and swollen
but still the tears continue to fall
it's like every mistake I ever made
is coming back at me now
it's ripping me apart from
the inside out, slowly making
me grow weaker and weaker
standing on the line between
life and death, and creeping slowly
to the side of death
I can't hide much anymore
I can't lie that much anymore
and it seems like everyone
is doing their share of
pushing me to the end
I put on a smile
and pretend that everyday is ok
but I don't know how much longer
I can hide it all
I don't know how much longer I'm
going to be able to keep this inside
I'm slowly fading away
and nobody can see it but me
