Burning rivers

Down my cheeks

Onto my soul

Help me please

Release this pain

Pluck it away

And give me

Back the life

I missed out on

There is

No magic

No remedies

For the secrets

I must keep

Burdens carried

A heavy cross

The salty tears

That I weep

Keep my secret

Safe in mind

In locked doors

Chains and deadbolts

Hold tight

My heart

Squeezing

The mysteries unexplained

The pain locked away

Spilled out in tears

Of blood and saline

Fear me not

Mourn me still

This pain forever

Keep it inside

Live a lie

Deny

Cry
