Truth

I act as if there's nothing  
that can penetrate my skin
truth is I am so brittle  
from the hollow deep within..
 
Fragile are my feelings  
when I feel you push away
If only I could stop the clock
forever you would stay..
 
I love to live in moments
that I can not call my own  
pretending that you are the one  
until I sleep alone..
 
For years I was a burden  
to everyone I met
until the day you pulled me close
and held me as I wept..
 
Fear is a fleeting feeling  
when I get down to the cause
for it will free me from the madness  
of climbing up these walls..
 
I was stuck inside a cycle  
of changing how I feel
living life on fantasy  
instead of what is real..
 
I can see things with new glasses  
when I open up my eyes
for no longer am I living
in my fantasy of lies..
