Felt but Untold

I feel, I feel a little bit more 
Deafening silences of stories untold
Wrenching hearts, welled-up eyes
Suppressed screams weaving loving lullabies 

I feel, I feel a little bit more
Breezes disguised as tornadoes
Wreckage, havoc, “it’s dark inside”
Cluttered confusion showing the ‘light’

I feel, I feel a little bit more
In a circus, on a tightrope
Smirks, grins, mocking eyes
Free falling to see if it’s alright 

Tell me, tell me if you know 
To keep these secrets, box of lies
Chest of unconsoled cries
Buried beyond land, seas and skies 
Never unravelled, but felt, kept and hidden again
By souls destined to have the sweetest of smiles.
