Array ( [sid] => 26259 [catid] => 1 [aid] => mick [title] => Hidden Lives [time] => 2003-11-02 03:51:40 [hometext] => [bodytext] => Everything I’ve held inside
From my family, friends, from you
I think my mind is starting to bend
My reality coming unglued.

Unwelcome tears flow down my face
I cannot make them cease
All I’ve hidden from you for so long
Is finally coming back at me

The tears I cry, the blood I bleed
Screaming for help involuntarily
You hug me, tell me it’s all ok
But you don’t know why I’m crying today.

So how the ***** can you tell me
That it will be alright
When you don’t even know what it is,
That you’re saying is fine?

One day I awoke and looked in the mirror
I realized that I was okay.
When I went to tell you how I felt
You weren’t there that day.

I went to the funeral with a heart full of shock
I saw the arrest, heard the story from some interviewed cop.
Saw your father on the news, being taken away
God why didn’t you tell me your life was this way?

I never knew the life you led
In my selfishness, never saw your pain
Never saw you had secrets of your own
And now I’ll never see you again. [comments] => 2 [counter] => 171 [topic] => 32 [informant] => blackfire9786 [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 9 [ratings] => 2 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => SadPoetry )
