#41*
Have you ever really seen me cry?
A torrential rain is a drought compared to my tidal wave of tears.
You've never seen them fall
Because that would be too much to admit.
I can't blame you for not knowing why my moods change so rapidly,
But someone not blind in love would know.
Invisible girl am I
Especially when the love of your life is near.
Maybe I want too much...no, I do.
I'm trying to deal
But when you only have the shattered pieces of a shattered heart
It's impossible to destroy feelings already there.
