Nobody Knows..

Nobody knows it’s empty, The smile that I wear. The real one is left behind in the past Because I left you there… Nobody knows I am crying. They won’t even see my tears. When they think I am laughing, I wish you were here… Nobody knows it’s painful. They think that I am strong. They say it won’t kill me, But I wonder if they are wrong… Nobody knows I miss you. They think I am all set free, But I feel like I am bound with chains, Trapped in the mystery… Nobody knows I need you. They think I can do it on my own, But they don’t know I am crying When I am all alone… I’m sitting on the porch, Wind blowing through my hair. The ducks are frolicking in the pond, But I just can’t seem to care. Life goes on around me. I don’t participate. I go through all the motions, But what I really do is wait. I dream about the day That you’ll come home to me. Nothing else is important. Why can’t people see? I don’t want to go out. I don’t want to have fun. I don’t want to do a thing Until all is said and done
