I cry here late in the cold dark night, Remembering all…
“I cry here late in the cold dark night, Remembering all the things that were said. Seeing how many times I was teased, Told that I should much rather be dead.I go and try to ignore them, But they don't understand.How much that I have been hurting, That I can't go back to bed. Those memories that haunt me, Were those of the past. Remember of the abuse, The rape and the sadness That just cannot come to pass. I think of the ones that hurt me, Try to get revenge. But now I'm stuck of a bottomless pit Filling my life with bullshit that wil never end. The memories that were filled in the end, Have now come to a blank. I can't remember the last time I was happy, Or the last time I wanted to drink. If only I were seen by those around me, Seeing a shrouding cloud of darkness. Seeing here, I'm crying inside, But now I know that I'm dead. I'm sorry to those who loved me, I'm sorry for those who cared. But now I know you're a little too late, If only you were there…”
