~~~"Secrets"~~~
How many tears can one heart hold?
How many pains--secrets?--and still hold silent?
How long will it take to overflow and turn cold
Or spill forth and become violent?
How much darkness from times of the past
Lay within an already weakened heart
Before it is rid of at last?
Clouding judgement and tearing thoughts apart,
How much longer until you finally crack?
In a world like ours, it continues to pour in
Higher and higher, one on top the other do they stack
With no way out, until there exists too many a sin
Over and over, I hear them say:
"Holding it in won't help; it'll only hurt more."
If only it were true, if only it'd go away
But I've carried so many, it's pressing on my very core
If ever I could speak them aloud
I would have long ago
But if I had, no longer would you be proud
And forever would you gaze at me in woe
Keeping them all in is painful for me
But speaking them out would surely kill you
Of them, I wish to be free
But not if it means taking you down, too
How much more can one person take
How many lies, hurts, doubts
Until they reach the point where they undoubtedly break?
Oh, how confused you would be of what I'm talking about...
I'd have reached that point before long
And it seems it's speeding toward me fast
I'm not like you: brave and strong
When that day comes, I know I'll breathe my last
You think I don't see you watching me
But I am all too aware of your vigilant eyes...
I am weakening with each passing day, not hard to see
I won't be able to stand it when we say our goodbyes
So I'll leave you quietly, in the cover of night
I won't be able to depart otherwise
With you gazing at me in paint, just in plain sight
I pray that once you discover my infinite lies
That you also know the one thing that rings true...
No matter what happened or passed by
I love you; always did and always do
And with that, I say my final goodbye
How many tears can one heart hold?
