DRY TEARS
No one tries, to see the pain behind the eyes
No one tries, to hear the heartfelt silenced cries
There’s no one there to prop me up
There’s no one there to fill my cup
I smile, I wink, I play along
On the surface, nothings wrong
Be their laughter, be their clown
They notice not the soul that drowns
Ill thought comments cut like knives
From Thoughtless people with feckless lives
So-called caring, fair weather friends
ensure the agony never ends
Malice makes me broken hearted
Makes you wonder why they started
In the end you’re on your own
Despite your fucking mobile phone
Came from dust, returned to dust
And no one’s really all that fussed
For all the acting, all the lying
They don’t care how much I’m dying
My inside rots, I fade away
It’s hard to face another day
Strength abandons, fortitude flees
Crying dry tears that only I can see

Sane ink with intense emotion and truth. Sometimes the most painful of emotions are hidden from the world but kept deep inside one's heart. I really relate with this ink. Thanks for the share.

I can relate to these words so much, no matter what people say no one can take away the darkness, the loneliness or the pain we have inside of us. Often pleasant comments or gestures are only seen as fake or shallow, even if they were truly meant with love. When u struggle all your life with acceptance, self acceptance and constantly being shit upon it is so hard to feel the love offered with no expectation of anything, it just seems like bollocks...that's our perception of it, what we need to remember is that is only our perception and that sometimes there are people, even strangers that really DO care. Do not let your heart grow so cold that even a little warmth from another is not accepted.
A truly deep emotional write my friend, felt to the core.
For the record, I DO care sweetie, don't forget that or I will hunt u down and kick u up the backside!
Ok!? Be told :P
