I am cold on the outside,

honest on the inside.

Why do you have to totally break me?

I don’t let anyone in.

I need to protect myself from the pain.

And why would I let you know?

Then your heart will start to break.

See the pain and disconnection in my eyes.

It’s not that I don’t care or am indifferent.

I just hide it all.

More closely than I try to hide my tears.
