Secret Love

Secret Love

Within this silver box secured with lock and key,
I keep my only lovers heart for all eternity.
It has to be kept hidden from the prying eyes that be,
Though late at night when all alone it lies close next to me.
And I can feel it beating still entombed in filigree
My love lives on forever more ne’er destined to be free.

As each new day transcends the sky I hold a hope so dear,
That I’ll live on ‘til night descends to hold you again so near.
Until that time when light recedes I’ll keep you hidden here,
For many would chastise our love and that is what I fear.
So rest in my eternal love, all will become so clear,
You’re my sweetest darling angel, never again to shed a tear.
