Your Happiness...

Everyday I watch as your beaming smile slowly fades

And watch as the light behind your eyes withdraws with every passing minute

The strength I know you once had is used up on fighting tears

And the lonely battle you fight with yourself is one hidden behind false laughter

I catch each tear you brush away though now my hands are getting heavy

And every time you fake that smile my heavy burden grows

I beg for you to listen, to accept you cannot cope

But every time you shut the door and ignore the fact I'm here

I'm trapped inside your head and your crumbling away around me

Pieces of you crashing down like rocks and the ground that is you beneath me is shaking

My throat is sore from screaming but I have to make you listen

For every time you cry I feel it, trapped inside this prison.

You pretend that you don't know me, that I never did exist

But the photos on your wall prove you felt me, your long lost happiness

We used to work together, be united as one

but now you've built this cage around me and I fear depressions won

So I'll stay here in the darkness but know that I've never left

I know one day you'll come back to me and see all our happy memories I've kept

So when you're ready listen out for me because I'll be calling your name

And know that if you look deep enough my lights still burning just the same...
