The Deepest Scars

I cry but there's no tears
'Cause I hate the way they feel
In the dark with lurking fears
Where the pain is all too real.

There's no such thing as faith
In this black hole that is my heart
And I'm dying as a wretched wraith
Without the hope of a better start.

I am never coming back to life
'Cause there's no return from the end of the world
Where I left a ghost of a girl sharper than the knife
That now sticks in my heart while my soul is unfurled.

For all the smiles that will forever haunt me
And all the wishes lost in the never-ending lies
I'll say one last prayer for a shorter eternity
So I won't have to face my other self as she dies.

What's one more cried and drowned
In the sea of tragic martyrdom
When the sacrifice is lost in another sight and sound
'Cause no one ever cared where they came from.

I see in the dark that the deepest scars
Are the ones you carve yourself
With the blade of false fantasies and unlucky stars
And rip open with the innocent words of someone else.

So filled with emotional movement, you've created a piece that takes us deep into the heart and mind... the darkness of life and existence laid out for all to see...

Very good. Strong emotions. Great imagery: "..false fantasies and unlucky stars"
