I Only Know

Here I sit on my couch
Alone with heartache
I would say ouch
but it is a slow constant ache
A black hole inside
Eating at me slowly
My eyes can not hide
No matter how shrewdly
I try to conceal
The storm clouds in my mind
The pain is real
The storm is unkind
No one knows my pain
I hide it all within
Is it all in vain
It may have been
I sit here alone
No one knows my pain
It is all within me
I am drowning
In the tears I do not cry
I'm going deaf
With the words I do not say
Why does this happen
Always it happens
I am alone
It seems I am always
Always alone
