Will you remember me?

When I'm falling apart,
Will you still remember me?
When my mind starts to go,
Will you remind me?
When my eyes no longer see,
Will you guide me?
When my heart starts to fail,
Will you still love me?

I know I am alive,
But inside I feel dead,
In a world of hate I try to thrive,
But instead the enemy plays with my head,
Being alone I thought was safety,
But now out in the open I am prey,
And evil awaits to pounce if I try to flee,
I try my best to pray...

My love for people,
Is shrugged off by I don't care's,
My friendships I thought I had,
Have depleted over the years,
I am sad,
But place a smile on my face anyway,
My heart speaks out in pain,
As my face masks the hurt away,
I could have everything in the world,
And still feel alone,
This is what a broken person feels,
But you wouldn't know...

You don't see past the mask I wear,
My heart once had a sword pushed right through it,
And the constant test,
Of the lifetime I am in,
Has put pins an needles in my chest,
I just cannot win,
Victory wasn't written out for me,
If you couldn't see,
For this is not living,
This is called dying,
Slowly...

I will put myself back together again,
The day may be near,
Or the day may be far,
But I fear,
You won't remember me,
Because who I used to be,
Is nothing now but a memoir...
