Walking in the rain

 I wear a mask, a fake smile

The world thinks I'm happy, all the while

But deep inside, I'm lost and alone

A soul trapped in darkness, no place to call home

I walk in the rain, to hide my tears

A lonely soul, drowning in fears

No one to turn to, no hand to hold

A life without meaning, growing old

They say I have friends, but it's a lie

No one reaches out, no one asks why

I'm just a ghost, invisible and grey

A fleeting thought, in their busy day

I walk in the rain, to hide my tears

A lonely soul, drowning in fears

No one to turn to, no hand to hold

A life without meaning, growing old

Why must I exist, in this endless night?

A life without purpose, a futile fight

I search for answers, but none are found

A whispered cry, in an empty sound

I walk in the rain, to hide my tears

A lonely soul, drowning in fears

No one to turn to, no hand to hold

A life without meaning, growing old

In the rain, I find my peace

A temporary escape, from life's release

But the pain remains, the emptiness too

A lonely heart, beating true.

Unseen Love

In the shadows, I hide my heart

A love so strong, yet we're worlds apart

I watch you from afar, with a secret smile

My love for you, a flame that burns all the while

But you don't know, the way I feel

You ask me questions, but my heart is sealed

I'm loving you only, but you can't see

The love I have for you, is meant to be

You ask me who, is the one I adore

But I just smile, and say nothing more

My heart beats fast, at the mention of your name

But I hide my emotions, and play the secret game

But you don't know, the way I feel

You ask me questions, but my heart is sealed

I'm loving you only, but you can't see

The love I have for you, is meant to be

Maybe someday, you'll see the truth

And maybe then, my heart will find its youth

But until then, I'll hide my love

And cherish every moment, sent from above

But you don't know, the way I feel

You ask me questions, but my heart is sealed

I'm loving you only, but you can't see

The love I have for you, is meant to be

So I'll keep loving you, from afar

And hope that someday, you'll be my shining star

And though you don't know, the way I feel

My love for you, will forever be real.
