Blood Loss

by Matthias L. - Capricorn

Please don't pretend to care
 Maybe the pain will go away
  If the cause leaves me alone

The wounds within are healing slowly
 Scars that time can make forgotten
  Memories will fade away
Never let someone get close
 To keep the old wounds sealed

     Say it isn't so
     Say that I lie
     Say that I don't know 
     Unless I try

Limited selection, 
Avoid to judge by principles
Thoroughly the clouds are covering
The thoughts above me hovering

Drawn the princess from the stack
 Back then, I didn't understand
  And simply put her back

Crossing downwards once again
 Without the melancholy that went away
  Got used to it and lost again

No tears are left to be held back
 Ran through the heart
  And settled in my soul again

Please don't pretend you see
 You'll break me even more
If you leave me hanging
 And let me know
There are darker colors than black

I wish there was a meaning
 For the night to take my heart
Setting sight on anyone
 To waver for some time
 Realized too late
 There's been another call
Will it ever be the same?
 I can't really tell

Don't pretend to care
 You'll hurt me even more
  When you try
My eyes are blank
 A void inside

But which am I?
