Expectations

Everyone expects something
A smile, a laugh, a twinkle
A glimmer of happiness
But that's not okay
Cause I'm not shinning

They say its a mystery
Why I don't smile
Why I don't laugh
Twinkle-less
Just back to history

A simple broken heart
Is not just that
crushed souls and dreams
too
Wanting to restart

They say that its alright
That it will heal with time
But I don't see how
When I can't feel joy
And have forgotten how to sleep at night

Fading, Breaking
Breaking, Hurting,
Hurting, Wanting,
Wanting, Needing,
Dying Slowly Inside
Crushed
Broken
Shattered

Everyone expects something
You'll move on
Even without happiness
You'll be okay
But I'm done trying
