Etched hole so deep
Memories lost within
I've kept them closed off
Never sharing where I've been
Held within for so long
lingering at the surface
Knowing if I let them out now
The damage it could cause
Retreating within myself
As it is the only place I have ever found solace
Never finding the security to look past
No desire to see what lies beyond there
Closing myself in
As the layers of disappoinment fray,
Echos of the past lingering
Never knowing how long they will stay.
Struggling with the emotions,
Clinging to hang on.
Secrets that bind me,
Challenging me to see just how strong I am.
Desperation afloat,
Tears that never dry.
I have always faced the fight,
It will be no different this time.
