Dark Secrets

Dark Secrets
Only told to one
Why must I continue to lie?
It only hurts me more

Why do I keep protecting him?
He doesn’t deserve it,
After all he put me through,
The collapse of my soul

The one who knows these secrets loves me
He was the light when all was dark
I had fallen into the deepest hole,
But he put me atop the highest mountain

My life
These secrets

My death
This knowledge

Someone help me

This one was written on August 18, 2004. I wrote while I was still dealing with the abuse I had suffered. There were charges pressed against the person but, I never gave the full details when I was interveiwed or whatever they call it. So, this one is about me keeping out part of the truth.
