Cold World

Times have changed,
Yet I feel the same I always did;
The blank ceiling reminds me
How my heart feels inside
And the scars just won’t heal

Every day I’m haunted by the past
And faced with the reality
Of what happened and
What could’ve been

Warm tears burn my eyes
Terrorizing my soul –
I try to help myself,
But it just gets worse

I reach out for help,
Yet those closest don’t respond
And I’m left questioning who my friends are

I search for a taste of true happiness
But only get stabbed in the heart –
I don’t even know why I try
And I listen to another lie
I pray every day for this to go away
And it never does,
I don’t know what to do;
The faith I had hangs by the last thread
And I walk this path full of dread

All this pain –
I can’t make it go away
I think I’m going insane
But tomorrow’s another day

It’ll be better in the morning
Until it hits me all over again
And I have to face the cold world.
