If only you could see life through my eyes
All the pain I’ve witnessed and even kept hidden inside
If only you could understand what you think you may know
If only you could see that I’m scared everyday even if it doesn’t show
If only you could feel the hurt in my voice
If only you knew the pain of never really having a choice
If only you knew how lost I’ve been inside and out
If only you knew how it feels to have to whisper when you want to shout
If only you knew what it’s like to put your heart aside
If only you knew what I had to give up just to make her mine
Maybe there’s a reason you’ll never understand
Maybe my words are like the pain in the cuts slightly below her hand
Don’t look at me and say that you feel my pain
Because the things I’ve seen could drive a guy insane
I’ve been to hell and back and there’s not much left to say
The truth is no matter what you do you can’t wish the pain away

I absolutely love this, Eric. It's amazing. It's just so powerful; I can't explain it. I get so much emotion from it. My favorite line ((hehe this time I read it)) was "If only you knew how it feels to have to whisper when you want to shout". I just love this poem.
ReplyDeletewow I have to agree with Mariposa, I actaully had that same line on my clip board before I even saw her comment.
ReplyDeleteVery nice, full of interesting lines. Keep up =D
