My Ending

I feel as if my soul's been ripped out
You've taken a serrated knife to my aching heart
I feel this pain so deep
Yet I can not cry
I don't want you to see me hurting

It kills me that you don't even know
You don't see the glisten of my blood upon the floor

In my mind I scream out to you
Open your eyes... open your heart
Don't you feel my sorrow?

I can taste my pain.. acid yet sweet
And all because I can not face you
I can not allow you to know
How deeply I hurt, how much I feel

Still I know these thoughts are selfish

End my torture please
I know that love will never come
Take from me this endless ache
Dull and merciless it has become

I want to hide in your arms
Yet you've never offered them
And now I realize why

I have been such a tortured fool
An idiot among scholars
For everyone knew but me

I suppose one day I will look back upon this night
And know that I was foolishly blind
Thinking that you could ever care for me
When in reality, no one ever will

I suppose one day my tears will dry
My cries might be heard
This pain might be stilled

I know that I am a hopeless fool
Selfish in the matters of the heart
But no matter,
I will get over you,   or...
