Buried Secret

I hold in my heart a secret so dear
one that i wont let anyone near
it is so hard to keep this secret inside
sometimes i wish i could have just died
i try to be strong and i try not to cry
but my whole life feels like one huge lie
i ask myself why am i protecting him
then everything i remembered begins to go dim
All i ever wanted was to lay in bed
but the beast wouldnt let me rest my head
i layed there as if i were frozen in time
doing nothing while he committed that horrible crime
i should have gotten up, i should have ran away
but even then he could get me another day
it is over now, and my secret is still deeply concealed
but hopefully if i continue doing this i will be healed.
