as darkness envelopes the smiles I hide
a lasting glance to the one I've denied
being drawn within, a shelter I seek
the mind is failing, the heart growing weak
so much inside, I have exposed to you
so linger on in all the things you do
and you'll never notice the tears I shed
nor the bloody stains where my heart has bled
held captive forever, in this heart denied
and set adrift in the sea of tears my eyes have cried
these feelings for you, in my heart are clear
but strangled into silence by the unending fear
that some day you too will go astray
and leave this heart with nothing to say
with nothing left, and nothing to hide
turning slowly inward, and forever denied
