Sorrows From The Past

You cannot see beyond
the scars that show
they repulse you
won't let it go
instead you close your eyes
to my pain
think only of what
you can gain

Saying you're doing
the best you can, the little
you give is enough
to grow strong
well i'll tell you,
you're wrong
It's a slow death and
i can't hang on

Why not let me go
if you can't love me
beyond what you see
when you refuse to go deep inside
to that place i cannot hide
Don't you know you kill me everyday
when you look at me and turn away

Could you love me without
the heavy sigh, when i ask
for a simple touch
could you try, instead of
acting like it's too much
do i deserve this or
do i deserve less,
let my heart shrivel
and die in this mess

Do i live the rest of my years
in this hollow pain of yearning
inside my soul burnin'
for a touch, a look
eyes full of lust
instead the stare of disgust
why do you choose not
to see beyond the eyes
or is it that you do see
and that's why you sigh?
