Painful memories of shattered dreams Unreciprocated loves, baffled screams All that wasn’t but should have been And all that was that I wish I hadn’t seen.

Choking tears that I never cried Burning me inside before they died The lump in the throat, the suffocation Life is cruel, the blunt realisation.

Not everything is what it seems Bright darkness and lightless beams Thus are the scars on our hearts Pains carved until the soul departs.
