Hidden Pain
Do you know how much you hurt me
When you took my heart and ran?
And I tried to catch up with you,
But was lost in the sand?
Do you know how many nights,
I tried hard not to cry?
My eyes longed to see you,
And my heart about to die.
Did you ever stop to think
What your rejection did to me?
How it tore my life to pieces
And sent them drifting to the sea.
Have you ever wondered why
I smile in your face?
Or greet you not with a handshake
But with a warm embrace?
I would hate for you to see me,
Head hung and so distraught.
And I refuse to feed your ego
Or your haughty haughty thoughts.
I'll always keep my head up,
Hiding the turmoil deep within.
I bare this pain alone,
And some day I will win!
