You sit by the window staring at the rain
Only realizing it’s you drowning in pain
Watching your tears dropping one at a time
Yearning for a whisper softly saying
A penny for your thoughts, a nickel, how about a dime
You’re dissolving in silence, as you smile with grace
Illuminating only what you want them to see
While having visions of being in another place
Can they see the aching in your eyes
Or is it that you’re so use to all the anguish
That you know how to keep it in disguise
You look at yourself in the mirror staring into you’re eyes
Dealing with all the stories
That only you know how to hide
You’re a mystery to many and let be know
By few
Yet you look into their eyes and say to yourself
If only you knew
