Secrets

When the day is over,
Night falls, And
Almost like clockwork
Darkness cloaks the land.

When the day is over,
I unask myself
And (just like the night
I fall into my Hades.

As the night draws on
I burn and yearn inside
For the one thing, person
That eludes my life.

For long I have tried
To shake the thoughts
But my head refuses
To let him die in me.

Night after day.
Day after night.
Tossing and turning
Faking the smiles,

Pretending to be ok
Acting freer, wilder,
Always holding my tongue,
Of the thoughts that plague me.

Knowing what I feel
Deep inside of me
Cannot be allowed to surface
Shall die in secret with me,

For that is the way of the world.
That is the way of you.
And your many secrets
Your confessions untold

And unfortunately,
It is the way of me.
The way I have been given
The example I follow from you.
