A Fractured Part

the truth i hide behind my smile
the pain i bottled up all these years
the suffering that still haunts me
won't go away

parts of my past still stay hold of me
a little girl still cries in agony
confusion hides what i can really see
now what am i meant to believe

the darkness starts coming out
tears start to pile up
and my heart starts to freeze

i walk away from this feeling
but every time i turn around....
..that little girl will still
be right behind me
