Attention is cast on another further away People use the faces they were given To perform acts of obsession for their heroes But their heroes go on living, unaware The door closes and someone leaves Are there more lights outside for this soul Maybe something shines for those who are lost But the radiance isn't what it seemed to be And the brightness once seen slowly fades away Under the stars he sits close to a pond Something keeps dripping to create circles of trust He's trying to respond to these signs of mourning But no tears fall from the two hollow eyes And somewhere he hears laughing coming from the lights There's a silent scream inside his heart Can anyone hear the call for just a single day From here there are so many stars looking down But most of them shine into places with lights And the darkness fills his mind with thoughts he hates If you never look outside please close the curtains There's someone out there who can't take the lights anymore Deep inside a broken love bleeds as it weeps But the sound of crying doesn't reach the world outside Maybe it's because no one is around to hear him die again [comments] => 3 [counter] => 169 [topic] => 48 [informant] => psyonara [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 5 [ratings] => 1 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => EmotionalPoetry )
