Friends and Darkness.

Written on 3:00 AM by Unknown

Surrounded by people 
that laugh and smile 
and hold hands as they look 
into each other’s eyes 
the way lovers should 
embracing each other 
as though it was the last time 
they would feel this good 

I’m a shadow of them 
I have eyes that wander 
and hands that are empty 
just like my smile 

I don’t understand 
how they do it so well 
abandon their hearts 
three sheets to the wind 
as though they’ll never break 
trust and love are theirs 
they know it, they own it 
like time is their only enemy 

I can’t feel what they feel 
believe as they believe 
I’ve tried it before and only felt 
that I was lying to myself.
