Some Things Are Better Left Unsaid


I have been shattered
The light taken from inside me,
Leaving my body as nothing,
But a mind,
Controlling a shell.

I try my best,
To hide what I've become,
A shell in my own body.
I hide these wounds,
From family and friends,
To keep them safe,
From the truth.

Try as they might,
To help me,
I can't let them know,
How I came to be,
Trapped inside myself.
A heart, that has been tainted,
They can never know.

So I go,
Day by endless day
Night by endless night.
Until the truth comes back,
Only to take more for IT,
And leave less for me.
To give.
