No one loves me, oh this ache,
They just care how I perform for them,
Demand my presence for the shows sake,
But they never truly choose me over him or the selves of them.
Why does no one want me?
What wrong have I committed, but deeply feel,
The mask is all they want to see,
No one saved me, and theyre choosing him still
Smile in my face,
Yet im the punchline,
The fool of the cruel jokes they make in their secret place,
I swear they do this all the time, im nobodies dime.
Should I stay or should i go?
Searching for a home that feels so far away,
Family isnt family just because blood says so,
Heaven knows my name, no matter what they say.
My soul cries out
My heart knows the truth,
Actions speak louder than words said in a shout,
Ive been, being abandoned since my youth.
I see the joy, the pictures, the love shown to my enemy,
While my line stays silent, no ring,
Im left behind feeling empty ,
Oh death how great is your sting!
Over and again, same game,
Same thoughtlessness
Im left with only shame,
I know im nothing, and everything that is less.
What is it to be wanted vs chosen over?
What is it to be chosen over discarded?
Should have kept my cover,
Opening my mouth and spilling the secret started all this.
A rift too wide to mend,
I try to be the bigger person and get burned,
Over the line, shes around the bend,
No one comes to my aid, my affections never returned.
Sorrow of mind, blind lead the blind,
Sadness of heart, broken dreams,
Heaviness of spirit, I know the kind,
The all consuming type, weariness is beyond bone deep, the bleeding is as it seems.
Oh this ache,
Heartbreak and honeyed lies,
I thought I was dreaming but this whole time, I've been awake,
Silence the shatter and muffle the cries.
Of the never ending ache..
