A long time ago,
I locked away my heart and soul.
Took the key, threw it away.
No one really knows, even to this day.

You think you know it all,
Everything about me.
You don't, not even i do.
Primarily,
You don't know what I'm afraid to tell you.
So i keep everything locked up;
Its better that way.

Whenever i've ever
Told someone something personal,
Given them my
Unbroken trust,
They've held it in their palms,
Told me it was precious.
They when i unlocked,
They squeezed it
So tight it split.
Its been taped, roughed up,
Bruised,
So many times,
Its barely there.

The darkness is a veil,
A thin black sheet in front of everything i do,
I can't escape,
Can never see through.
