Here and There

Mutilation here, Deception there

He can’t see me through blood stained eyes

 

 

Cut here, Cut there

My blood runs dry as I cry for the millionth time

 

 

Smile here, Smile there

I hide because I don’t want you to see the monster in me

 

 

Lies here, Lies there

So you can’t see deep inside me

 

 

Love here, Love there

You can’t see me through your own hate and tears

 

 

Wall here, Wall there

So I can’t get hurt again so I hide behind the wall to protect both me and you

 

 

Friends here, Friends there

I hide behind them so I can lie and act like I’m okay

 

 

Your words here, your words there

You say best friend and I want more than just that from you

 

 

Mutilation here, Deception there

He can’t see me but I’m right here beside him
