Emotional Neglect

My days are numbered and lonely here
Not returning home is now my only fear
The pain I fell is trapped like a trench deep inside
My scars are deep in my heart, easy to hide
I cry because it makes the most sense
The world is broken like an old picket fence
So now I watch as the blue sky fades black
As I try to make up these things in life that I lack
Right now, is it anger that I feel?
If that’s the case, it’s others joy I must steal
World would you be so kind as to grant me this?
That each day provides us with something new
Bring us happiness in knowing that love is true
My soul is yours if that’s your desire
Saying I need that empty space would make me a liar
What I really want and need now is this dear world
Is for my feelings to calm and not swirled
Please watch the ones I love
Maybe one day I’ll find truth in what lies above.
