Truth

you held me close, to smell my fear i froze in time, when you came near lips on lips, you taste the bitterness truth be told, you need forgiveness i speak my heart, you remember lies my soul cried out under midnight skies the pain would leave, as it always would my scars remained but i hid as best i could its hard to speak with a mouth sewn shut i want to heal from the deepest cut scared to breathe my heartbeats loud i felt alone in the biggest crowd my tunnel vision started to cure the vision of life is a powerful lure so i said goodbye to the darken night and crawled my way back to the beacon of light.

Very nicely said- would be a good source of a song lyric,"So i said goodbye to the darken night." I love the first stanza too.
