Mine heart held secrets told never to display,
as watchful eyes waned,
none weight to be carried in shame,
still...
emotions chewed away,
horrors like mine innocence shouldn't face;

kept up a hundred charades,
tossing miles of rage...
between love & hate;
when all desires whispered to escape -
cant help but feel betrayed;

now... let's close envenomed eyes,
yet... exhale heavy & awake,
wish for the fright to dissipate,
though prepare for tedious fight.
