Within Me

what's this sadness within me that stays
way down in depths of my soul
as another tear glides thru my veins
it quickly finds the answer

see your name boldly inked in purple
permanent tattoo upon my heart
explains why it still bleeds you
while each night I wish away your memory

close my eyes you're always still there
instead of sweet dreams of our future
they've become haunting nightmares
of what we wanted once in time

I have vanished from your soul
existing not to you as if we never met
you've blocked me from your heart and life
you're still within me but you've made me nothing to you

(Dedicated to many hurting souls.....who knows this well....as do I)
