Evil secrets kept are hearts broken.
Deceptions can rip souls open.
Now I wonder what I ever did
to deserve to have wool forcing shut eyelids
that once were the doors granting access
to a heart whose love was boundless
and a soul whose devotion was immortal.

Thoughts of you haunt sleepless nights.
My love for you, still burning bright.
Emotions—barbed wire—drag through my skin;
keeping pain subdued, buried within.
You've moved on, started anew
and I, left alone, am bruised black and blue
but covered, concealed, protected...kept safe so I can heal.

I'm lost now, dandelion fluff blowing
in the wind. A wish not granted with nobody knowing
what could have been, what should have been...
Floating on uncharted waters impossibly serene,
I'll search for the beauty we once shared
and unrequited love, my compass, will guide me there.
Sooner rather than later, I hope, this hardship will end.

I'll prove you wrong, don't ever doubt me.
In this place I'll be happier than you could ever make me.
