World of Solitude

Cold eyes watch me through your soul,
I look at your face and see a mask.
But I see that you're really in pain,
And I fear for your life.
You've hurt yourself many times,
I see the scars and the blood.
But still you smile behind your mask,
While your soul is frozen in despair.
Tortured every day with each breath you take,
Wishing that none of it was real.
You force yourself to believe it's a dream,
You kill reality with a wonder world.
You hide behind your books and your fantasies,
Creating a World of Solitude just for you.
But I want to join you,
I know how you feel, your true soul.
It reveals itself to me as if it's beckoning me in.
Wanting to share it's grief with someone,
But you keep your soul on a leash.
You'll never let me in, or close,
No matter how much I want to help.
No matter how much I want to be withyou.
You hide the one I love beneath your mask...
