I hide my happiness in the dark.
To protect from prying eyes.
For if he sees the happiness in me
He will strip it away with his negativity.
My hope is concealed.
Covered by the clouds in my eyes.
For if he sees the hope in me
He will crush it thoroughly.
I hide my love in the shadows
From the torturous nature in him
For if he sees my love
He will know he owns all of me
I lock myself away from prying eyes
To protect my happiness
To conceal my hope
To hide my love
From the monster in him.
