Heartless


Day by day Year by year Months go by But still no tear What happened to The child I used to know Now the boy is blue But allows no tears to flow Inside is excruciating pain But what people see is nothing They see a thug, a troubled child But he just wants to feel something He looks to kill the pain that he can't express Skin deep he looks perfect but go deeper he is a mess So he goes to the only thing that he knows Taking something to numb the pain that he never shows Hurting the ones he loves the most Bringing pain to the ones that socialize With him. He soon notices what he inflicted. Now he has opened eyes For so long he had no soul For so long he was heartless He had no emotions Walking, but a carcass Those who loved him Helped him through his addictions Those who loved him Helped him heal his inflictions People said he was worthless They thought the words were harmless No blood coursed through his veins But he is no longer heartless
