Smoke screens all around, shrouded eyes won’t tell
Messages pass to and fro, and still I hear no bell
Mysteries surrounding all the love I once could give
Was it really meant to be and did I really live?
On the pavement lying is some paper from a book
As with me it’s obvious, no one will give a second look
No one will ever know the pain I’ve felt inside
Or of all the lonely nights I whispered when I cried
My little soul was praying for someone to save my mind
To take me from this darkness never leaving me behind
But no one came to save me; I was trapped and all alone
Just another statistic or I was if they had known.
The anger that swelled inside me is now hurt that wants to know
Why he did those things, couldn’t he tell instead of show?
I still hear his voice as he hurts me once again
Stroking me and hurting me, can’t he see my pain?

Such painful feelings...
Sadness as this one should come only once to us in a whole life time. And be forgotten or replaced very quick by happy experiences.
Hopefully be all a passing by feeling
