Secrets
Written March 2004.

Secrets you call them
My feelings they are
Wish hidden from prying eyes
That search to find

Things you'll never see
Dear as my own child
Things you never known
Mine to keep and hoard

Backed up against a wall
Protecting what is left
Things never should be found
That you tore into

I watch beneath these eyes
Are you tear apart and devour
What all is left of me
All this now in pieces

Afraid of how you'd see
All this inner turmoil
That's rawly been a part of me
Longer than you've thought
