Life again has brought me to the door That opens to the fear I’ve felt before The pain that stays so deep inside No longer has a place to hide. It haunts my every breath and thought My heart is broken, and feeling wrought Over recurring memories of cruelty past And guilt of weakness that seems to last. The days that come by me one by one Are like footsteps that have no place to run To turn my back on a shattered heart To feign the courage for a brand new start. To begin anew, as if nothing occurred Is to withhold the words. Of what is felt so deep inside, Is to stop the moon and hold back the tide. The flood of hurt that wells up in me. Is so hard to show for others to see. That I play hide and seek over here and there. Hoping that someone I trust will care. To lift me up, and heal, what they find. Left of an aching soul, and a crying mind.
