This is how I feel, deep inside.

This force, so strong,

where I impel it to bide,

for I feared it was wrong.

This is how I feel, hidden away.

Behind a mask, so cold,

where I deny, as I may,

the feelings I withhold.

This is how I feel, holding you.

In my arms, so right,

where we belong, I always knew,

with our love at its height.

This is how I feel, without you near.

On my own, so lost,

where there is the darkness that I fear,

my life is dull, feelings glossed.

This is how I feel, deep inside.

My aching heart, so pained,

where love for you has not died,

bound to you, forever chained.

This is how I feel, right now.

Before you, so scared,

where I speak of my vow,

words to show you that I cared.
