Dead Inside
By Nomar Knight
I smile through lying eyes
Afraid to show my secret
Love to hear you laugh
Though you can't see
How selfishness kills me
My heart stings
And every day time passes
Courage escapes
Leaving dust
Where love once stood
Tired of pretending
All is right
When we both know
Circumstance beat opportunity
Casting shadows of doubt
Even though all is lost
I hear you sleep
Finding a moments peace
In my aching arms
My soul shivers
Delight a faded memory
Isolation drowns hope
And I wonder
Is it too late
Am I dead inside

This one I'm marking sad because it is sad. Very well written and very honest. Thank you for sharing this.
