Looking Inwards

With your doubts and suspicions, you tear me apart

Leaving me to bleed in your love and distrust

Give me your arms to strangle the life out of me

Lips are the seductive poison I want to kiss and drink

Showing nothing but happy faces, inside I am so empty

Wanting to belong not knowing, I already do

Trying hard to be something, I think I am

Not knowing where I am going or who I really am

My friends lie to my face

The family just bashes me around

The dog won't even look at me

I feel like I am an apparition

Life was a fairy tale once, so innocent and good

My eyes got opened and my heart bled out

Love grows, stings and then it dies

My life is an open book wishing to be read

My heart is glass, such a fragile thing

My head craves praise and real words of love

My soul wants to learn to live again

I want to dance, not bleed all over the floor
