I Can't Tell You

I guess
I have a secret
That I hold deep
Down inside

What if
I have a secret
That scarred me so
Like fire

I'm sorry
That I never show
All I keep within
Locked shut

You are
What I need to
Trust to find my
Missing key

But no,
I am too afraid
Because the blaze is
Too strong

I think
My heart can't bear
my broken soul shattering
Once more

My burnt
Sadness is tainted black
With pure hatred that
Glows dark

I can't
Fix it at all
The spirit that keeps
Me alive

Help me
Find my graceful wings
Up to fly and
Reach high

I will
Offer you my warmth
In this world of
Fake smiles

Can you
Grasp my hand tight
While I hold yours
For safety

Will I
Be free of darkness
To give you my
Loving smiles
