in the silence
of her sadness
each fear grows
into madness
nothing can quiet
the storm
leaving her soul
tattered and worn
this faded smile
is worn to hide
the damage
from years of lies
that sit within her core
and smoulder
as her heart grows
weak and colder
it's the meagre few
who have tried to uncover
and promised security
of a gentle lover
simply mere illusions of reprieve
impure intentions
hidden up their sleeves
adding to the chaos in her mind
that's left her broken
and confined
she has surrendered
that trust is lost
in worlds of fantasy
forever tossed
so this ache
she will always carry
and forever
have to burry
