O' how long lived are my lies to you.

So plagued am I with words that I wish to say to you.

If only I could...

If only I thought you'd forgive me...



Beyond life, and even death, will I carry this burden.

Keep these secrets from you forever, I will.

Yet, so much pressure and pain do I see

when I look into your eyes.

So innocent are they...

So pure is the soul behind them.



Can you feel my withdrawal?

There was a time when my life existed only

within the very breaths that you take.

Yet, so few seem to give way to hopeful reasons.

Reasons that give me faith that you'll throw

away my mistakes and let us start anew.



How could I hurt you so?

With such a secret does my life begin to wither and die.

However, with you, I pray that my life will

instead grow and begin to live once more.

My heart yearns for this wall to crumble and

allow all of these insecurites and insanities pour from me.



So bothered am I by these guilty secrets...

these sins by which my mind has taken to purge its deceitful path.

A path that I used to run from.

A path that I now embrace.

Tears stream from my eyes as a war within

myself finally comes to its term.
