My Lips Are Sealed
i bleed myself dry for you.
i cut myself short.
no one knows my secret life.
but i wish i could thrust it out in the open.
maybe then you could see what is going on.
you don't know how i cry at night.
you don't understand the torment.
i'm forbidden from addressing my tears.
and that hurts more then the actual pain.
they quiet me when i wish to speak.
they cover my ears when i'm in the room.
i've signed in blood to keep it all in.
i was doomed from the start.
but my love for you is so pure.
so genuine, can't you see it?
i never wished to hurt you.
it just happened so...
i bleed myself dry with loyalty.
and i close my wounds shut with lies.
inside my heart there is a monster.
waiting to break free from its cage.
savage and dangerous.
all it wants is to be heard.
can no one let me speak?
my tongue is marked with disobedience.
so i sit here and cry.
because i fear that you hate me so much.
i couldn't love you more.
but your perception may say different.
please give me time to explain.
and i will break these barriers that hold me still.
you will understand it all soon.
but as they say, in all due time.
