&#039;Miles to go before I sleep&#039;<br /> - Robert Frost

I close my eyes and try to prevent
the tears that threaten to give me away.
I count to ten and try to breathe
to try and get them away.
Because if he knew how much it hurts
every time he rejects me.
I fear that it would blow my mask away
and put my broken heart on show.
Breathe...Breathe...Breathe.
I open my eyes, I turn away
I run as fast as I can.
There is no one here,
I'm on my own.
Now I can show how deep I'm broken.
I fall to the ground
and let that throbbing tear,
roll down my cheek.

They say it&#039;s what you make<br /> I say it&#039;s up to fate<br /> It&#039;s woven in my soul<br /> I need to let you go<br /> Your eyes, they shine so bright<br /> I want to save their light<br /> I can&#039;t escape this now<br /> Unless you show me how<br /> When you feel my heat<br /> Look into my eyes<br /> It&rsquo;s where my demons hide
