Secrecy

Unshed tears blur my eyes, 

I try not to blink

for none can see me like this. 

Hurried, I run away, 

to a lonely, faraway place. 

Hidden admist the fog and mist

full of black shadows

cast by old, withering trees. 

I sit on the dark, murky land

breathing out a quivering sigh

as my heart constricted in pain. 

The first tear rolled down

and soon followed the other

and laying there as I cry, 

I lament this cursed fate of mine. 

After a while or maybe a lifetime my tears did subside. 

Maybe they hid in the pores of my scarred skin, 

maybe they evaporated in this mysterious fog that englufed me.

As fragile as the dew on leaves, 

I carry my heart on my sleeves. 

Should've treasured the pearls my eyes shed for someone worthy;

but who told me to be stupid. 

And I hide as I watch

the wolves howling

the snakes slithering

and my soul shattering. 

Everything happened within a second, 

for this pain I can no longer persist. 

For I believe, 

every end is a new beginning.
