Through my head as the tears try to fall
Down my cheeks -- I feel so cold
Inside this old abandoned house sleeping up against the wall
~*~
Why me? Why was I the one denied
Parents, friends -- why does it have to be me
Who struggles to restrain tears that I have never cried
That have simmered deep within my soul throughout the years?
*~*
The bracelet jingles, the locket falls open
I resist the urge to hurl it outside into the night
Maybe if the picture were not before my eyes I could forget
But the smile on your face just makes me want to die
~*~
How could you have boarded that plane? And why?
How could you leave me all alone, an orphan, unseen?
How could you leave me here unable to cry?
And most of all, how could you show your faces in my dream?
*~*
To, inside my crazed nightmare, assure me that reality
Wasn't real, assure me that the truth was a lie
And then stare up at me from inside that locket
Still wearing that perpetual smile?
