My safe shell

Crawl back in your shell,
keep the world out.
Shut down all emotions.
Take the pain away,
and let me go to paradise.
I don't want to feel the hurt.
I don't want to cry anymore.

I just want to forget.
Forget everything.
Pretend that everything is alright,
at least for a single second.
Just believe that everything will be okay,
just for a moment.
One moment worth everything.

Let me crawl back,
into my safe shell.
The one place
where no one can ever hurt me.
The one place where I can hide.
Put on a smile,
and pretend that I'm okay.
On the outside,
everything seems normal and okay.
Make people around me believe
that my heart has healed and I'm ready to move on.

Inside I'm falling apart.
My heart can't stand another heartache.
Everything is shattered to pieces,
and I don't know how to fix it.
Put each piece back where they belong,
and try and move on with the life I am are left with.
Make yourself believe that you will survive.
You will love again,
it just takes time.
Try and believe that,
and maybe there is a hope.
