..Transparent..

How long can someone pretend to be so happy?
When that empty stare becomes all too familiar,
When this empty place is the thing you fear the most,
How long can silence go on?
Where words are spoken but nothing makes sense,
When talking becomes a chore rather than something you want to do,
When there is no comfortable silence.

How long can you smile and laugh and hide?
Pretend things are so perfect,
Make believe that things are supposed to be this way,
People aren't supposed to talk,
We're not supposed to be happy,
Holding hands has never been heard of,
Affection isn't something you show...

How long can someone play a role?
A ritual never changing,
A hope that things might someway be different,
Just give it another week and things will change...
Stretching it out for comfortability
And having someone there,
Mutual friends,
Anniversarys,
Holidays,
Together.

How long am I going to wait?
Until I finally break down and hurt the one I care about,
Ruin a friendship that could have been more had this never started,
Wait until you open up, talk to me...?
Wait until you stop seeing right past me,
I'm so empty,
I'm so alone,
Transparent,
With you...

I see me frowning in your eyes...
I see the fear in you...
Where no one ever should be...
