An Empty Place

Lonely days for lonely hearts
Take from me now from the start
Bury deep the secrets true
I’ll hold them back, through and through.
Deep emotions held through fear
Apologies come straight from here.
My words I keep now from you
I do not mean to hurt them too
So understand the pressures of
18 years of secrets of
A childhood drowned in fear
A fear of something far too near
I’ll say goodbye for now you know
A near return for you I’ll sew
The feelings now escape your ears
Forget for now our falling tears.
