Troubled Heart

Burying emotional pain

As a cavern is dark
Full of secrets
Surprises
Around the bend
So is my heart

You see only
What I let you
The smile is fake
Laughter forced

Troubled waters
Of my soul
My secrets
My pain
They are mine
Alone

No one bears my burden
No one cares
Cannot be trusted
To know the depths

When I crack
The walls
To let one in
They steal my hope

I hurt
You can't heal me
I cry
You don't see my tears

You throw arrows
Through the cracks
Leaving me
To bleed
Plaster my wounds

Until again
The wall is sealed
My secrets
Buried deep
Once more
