I Cried

I cried alone,
When no one was there,
I cried to comfort,
When no one was there,
I drowned in my sorrow,
And swam in my pain,
I let the darkness eat me,
I let it cloak me,

No one ever saw me,
So no one ever knew,
Everyone close to me,
Thought my life was fine,
But no one ever saw me,
No one ever cared,

When I met you knew,
Somewhere deep down,
I knew you were sad,
I knew how you felt,
I wondered if you knew,
That I was just like you,
Or that’s how I felt,
Every time I saw you,

You showed no sign,
Of how the misery swallowed you,
You never said a word,
You just laughed and smiled,
Like you I smiled,
I laughed at the jokes,
But deep down I was crying,
Deep down I was screaming,

I hope one day you’ll know,
I hope then that you’ll see,
That I’m just like you,
It’s all I can be,
I want to comfort you,
I want to help you,
We can be there for each other,
When we feel alone,

One day you’ll find me,
One day you’ll see,
And maybe one day,
That day you’ll rescue me,
When you save me,
That day I’ll save you too,
