Streets
On the street people pass by like their day has just been so full of love.
Everyone I see seems to have a life they always dreamed of.
Smiles back and forth hit me like a knife.
Couples hand in hand where they are sharing a life.
I watch their eyes, but only for a minute, they stare there a long time.
Getting lost in their thoughts, they both boldly shine.
My head bows down after I look around at this scene.
Deep inside I feel that my wound won't heal
Without this perfect dream I see.
Coward to admit it, I walk as though I didn't,
See anything or anyone together so close.
Still hearing their feet, they scream out to me, that's how it seems.
But they're just enjoying their own company
Guess I should have known they weren't talking to me.
Blindly I walk trying to get away from here
Pushing my way through the crowd
Happiness is deserved for everyone, why am I not everyone
How could I not be allowed?
I can't get away from it; I can't reach the peak
Of happiness I wish to own, tears storm down my cheeks.
Trying to hide my lonely face, from this street of flowing lovers
I run and run till I have no more and till I see no others.
Blankly sharing thoughts with myself, it makes it even worse.
Wondering how long this lonely pain will slowly make me hurt.
I cry alone hands on my face, running to an unknown place
Tired as I could ever be, I fall to my weary knees.
No one around to hug and hold
My tears just fell until they were old.
I held my head up higher and higher.
Everyone was gone which was my desire.
I lay there until I was finally gone.
Left there forever, no pieces together.
My life is nothing without love, so long.
