Depths

Lying in wait
Beneath the veil
In depths I stare
With curtains drawn
To my eyes revealed

Made of glass
A tainted mirror
Marks my saddness
Of repressed thoughts
In my sullen soul

Views of shadows
A fades image
Shows my pain
In it's reflection
Upon my pale face

An endless glance
Pours out a past
Of wasted dreams
Like a window 
To my aching heart

No more running away
Accept what is seen
It can't be hidden
Or forgotten completly 
These my deepest secrets
