If You Only Knew

If You Only Knew

A Poem by obsessedwriter

You don't realise that I fake a smile 
You don't realise that I've been down for a while 
You don't realise I don't speak anymore 
You don't realise that I don't laugh no more 

All this time I'm dying inside 
And you walk away because of your pride 
But you have never once tried 

If you knew would you care about my state 
Or would you leave me to be bait 

Broken and damaged that's what I am 
Left to fend off the battering ram 

You never asked 'are you okay' 
So I just kept you at bay 

You could have saved me from this hell 
But I blazed in my cell 

If you only knew
