Inside

 Expectations lead to disappointment, 

love finds heartache at the door and 

memories are all that surfaces 

from the dreams of forevermore. 

You promised the pain would fade

that I'd forget how much you mean to me,

as the years have quickly passed on, 

I've found myself living on those dreams.

The tears are stored inside

held back so no one can see, 

I take to my bedroom and

let those tears flow from me.

I know how the clown feels

walking around with a smile,

inside is a forever heartache

that resides deep in me.
