Skeleton In My Closet

Skeleton in my Closet I had many sleepless nights And walked a painful path Sorrow, heartache and pain I remembered from my past I've done many things I know wasn't right And the skeletons in my closet Came back to hunt my life In my strongest hour, I Found myself to be weak And I shared all night passion With strangers in the street I thought they would love me When I gave them my all I didn't resist temptation, I Answered many calls I somehow fell in love And met a wonderful man If he found out about the Skeleton in my closet He wouldn't understand My past is now the present That has surface to the light The place that kept my secrets Is now what hunts my life I bear the truth in my heart Silent as a Lamb When he finds out The truth, will he Know the type of Woman that I am The skeletons in my closet I kept them locked away To ashamed to speak of them Until this very day If I tell him the truth His love I will lose I feel like I am trapped I feel like a fool If I had the power to go Back and change my life I would have no pain And no more sleepless nights I would have no secrets For no one to understand Only joy and peace, somewhere Happy with my man!

Thanks Carol, sometimes I get to writing and keep going. For writing is something that I love to do. I also love to read. I will try to remember your advice, and thanks so much for visiting my work.
