Never Know

You don't know, 

because I can't tell you. 

You don't see, 

because I don't let you. 

Not a day goes by, 

not a minute in the day, 

that I don't think of you. 

You'll never know, 

because I will never tell you, 

you will never see, 

because I will never let you. 

The days go by 

and I still stay silent. 

Silence is my protection and 

my prison. 

There is so much that you 

can't see, because I 

don't let you see. 

There is so much that I feel, 

that I can admit, 

not just to you, but to myself. 

Silence and tears are 

my only protection. 

They are the only reminder

that I can still feel. 

They are all I have. 

You take my silence and 

private thoughts for 

hatred 

only this is far from 

true. 

I can't let you see, 

can't let you in. 

No matter how much I want 

to run to you, 

I stay still. 

Just know that no matter 

where you are, 

or what you are doing, 

you are never far

from my thoughts

or my heart.
