Nobody knows it's empty,
The smile that I wear.
The real one is left behind in the past
Because I left you there...
Nobody knows I am crying.
They won't even see my tears.
When they think I am laughing,
I wish you were here...
Nobody knows it's painful.
They think that I am strong.
They say it won't kill me,
But I wonder if they are wrong...
Nobody knows I miss you.
They think I am all set free,
But I feel like I am bound with chains,
Trapped in the mystery...
Nobody knows I need you.
They think I can do it on my own,
But they don't know I am crying
When I am all alone...

My oldest daughter left me for her dad. Your words are healing some deep wounds. I realize now she didn't leave me, she knew I was strong enough to live without her because after all I was strong enough to live without her dad. But really her dad was not strong enough to live without me. She took my place in his life. Grocery shopping, cleaning, etc., all the things he needed a wife for. But alas, seven years later, just as he couldn't be a companion to me, he is not a companion to her. She is simply a maid. She still makes sure he's well, but now she understands the narcissist's ways.
