Secrets and Reality

A secret lays buried so deep inside of me
I have never even been exact to see what it was
Knowingly combustible, hateful
More tightly kept than unknown affairs
More dangerous than any shadow or ghost
For ghost have shape and name
What lay inside me has none
So strong, so potent
Words crumble before they can describe

When I'm alone
It seems as a possible explosion, my personal bomb
Filled with death, pain and, destruction
Seeing what no little girl should
Nightmares and fantasies
Of blood and shattered glass that lay atop skeletons....
Blackened barb-wire twisted and burning around charred corpses
And my soul still burns
My heart still heals
My knife still pierces your flesh
And all along you were wishing
You had just apologized...

Author notes

I hope at least one person can understand this....

    Wow. I was drawn in at the beginning and your pain wrenched my heart throughout.
