Her Secret's Hard To Keep

Her tears stain the pillow As she lays down to sleep Dying from within Her secret’s hard to keep Violated by one trusted Betrayed by those she loves Left alone to suffer Only wanting to be loved His hands as cold as ice Creeping in the night Her innocence was stolen She was too weak to fight Scared to cry out Believing she’d be shunned Closing off her heart Hiding from everyone Trapped by her memory Imprisoned by regret She will take the blame But what will he get? His freedom is untouched His life is unchanged She can never tell She feels so much shame She’s an innocent child He is a grown man She wants to forget She knows she never can Her tears stain the pillow As she lays down to sleep Dying from within Her secret’s hard to keep
