Heart's burden

I can't remember when last I took out a pen to write down these words imprinted in my heart
Yes! Those feelings that tear me apart
They kept me awake at the deep of the night
Sleep was never mine

I swore I wouldn't start or stop to stare;
at the broken pieces that made up Stephanie
But this time it was too obvious to hide, more than even I could cover
Everything in the world seems tougher

I knew it would take them no time to discover; my smiles were fake
But this time it was something I couldn't take
Oh mother! I promised I would do it for your sake
Truth is I can't go further
Love isn't a game to play but I knew I was being played, still there I lay looking at life crumbling before my eyes

Lies and deception
My tears; a sweet reflection
Petty worries; meaningless stories
What lay deep down brings nothing but a frown
