Lingering On

Is it impossible to see

As you're tearing me apart

Just how much that you've hurt me

And my fragile little heart

My happiness is now a lie

And I fear the tears won't fall

Because it's just so hard to try

To stay and stand forever tall

I'm able to endure the pain in silence

But still it's cause for constant worry

That someday acts of mindless violence

Will result from my secret fury
