Hiding

I must say, it’s dark in this corner, Not a sound Only my voice echoing Bouncing around This is my usual place Where I hide The place my feelings are Deep inside I will not come out Only to be accused Leaving my feelings Battered and bruised. She says she’s been fooled I’m not a jester Breaking hearts is not Where I’ve schooled. Genuine love I put on display A severed heart Continuous rain of misery Is what I have to pay Hands clasped around my legs My head rests on knees Love knocks on the door My voice echoes go away please This dark corner is cosy Alone and mine This is where I’m safe And feel fine It’s familiar to me I’ve been here many a time.
