Everybody Hurts

Everybody hurts, everybody cries As surely as the years pass, everybody dies I hurt, I have scars from lost love and pain Sleep deeply to hide from life's thunder and rain All my doubts I hide deep inside Death is always there to chase me Still greedily I cling to life Longing for someone to love me Lost in a maze in colorless dreams Endless, barren, no reason for being Long for kisses like peaches and cream A wicked thirst waits all consuming I give great love in my Father's name No thanks to a cold heartless Mother I am reduced to my childhood's shame How will I know how to love another From hateful words on a dusty shelf In another home dictated by charity I could barely breathe for myself I fear light yet crave for clarity What if my dreams are already taken Trapped in shadows of deep past grief Could her future for me be mistaken I pray for joy even if it be brief Yes I will find my "one" and my only Any others are a mere delusion Lovers left behind, lost and lonely Tortured tears cried in confusion He looks intently at me and yet, Wonders who's is he looking at Now I am a memory hard to forget I don't want to be seen like that Another love has captured my heart Bound together like leather and lace He holds my hand and fills my heart And this man sees beyond just a face I wouldn't be loved like I am today If your love hadn't torn me apart that way..
