Laughter

Hear the laughter of the free.
You and I weren't meant to be.
Hide your eyes, and look away.
Twas' only I who knew you wouldn't stay.
Commitment is nothing to be afraid of,
but was it really love?

The tears that fall
aren't nearly as deep as this claw.
It's hanging on me,
torturing what's left of me,
I can hide, not come out to play,
but you know the emotions that are at bay.
