Hide Her Away

Hide Her Away Tucked away in shame, to hide his own discretions...he hid her away.... Of the world of social media so that he shall lift his own insecurities and feed his plate of lust, desire and importance He hid her away... Quiet as a feather... The Social Universe would never know that this exquisite piece of his human puzzle ever existed He hid her away... A mold of beauty and grace An aura that exhumed love, light and softened even the hardest of beasts So sweet so pure He hid her away... This humble mold has a smile that could brighten the darkest storm and ripple the earth with light Eyes of mystic and depth And a heart so unselfishly giving... But he hid her away.... Ignoring the realness of the many layers within her He never saw the strength or power that resided within her being Or the final layer... That laid within the crevices The ultimate release of letting go. Although clothed in weakness to the unseen world's eye This layer was wrapped in pain, struggles and dark nights of tears... It was the bulls eye that once hit ...you will never forget Once touched you can never return Once burned you can never rise up from again And he came to that bulls eye... That final exploding blow When the silence is all that is heard.. And she finally hid him away.... Under the layers of the past. To the hope of a man who will not Hide her away....
