The secrets I have carried
on your behalf.
There was always someone else I felt
the need to protect
I have feared the memories
and dreaded the images that haunt my nights
But by day the seem to have some
place else to go.

I had to bare it all for you,
for me
Let it out for someone else to see
my shame to hear my pain.
The tears pour out and I struggle
for sanity, even now, to stay on top.

Our family so tore apart,
for years I felt the guilt
I have paid the price, there price,
whenever I could.
It is you I suppose who should have
felt the hell I have lived
for years and years.
But I doubt you feel anything at all.

The tears went dry, the story is told.
The results are not known.
The part of me you took is no
longer yours.

Pure raw emotion....

Haunted the depths of me
