I Have Dark Secrets

I Have Dark Secrets,
 
Burrowing Through My Soul,
Like Death Worms To The Flesh,
Taking Its Merciless Toll,
My Pain Always Bleeding Fresh,
This Death Rattle I Did Willingly Catch.
 
I Have Dark Secrets,
 
Assigned To My Punishment,
Like Heavenly Storms Above,
Too Arrogant to Build a Battlement,
Black Smoke Confuses the Peaceful Dove,
Still Wants for the Miracle of Destined Love.
 
I Have Dark Secrets,
 
Always Waiting to Leach Out.
Like Sucking Wounds,
Craving Another Suicidal Bout,
Lost Among the Many Shifting Dunes,
When Did My Life Come to Such Ruin?
 
I Have Dark Secrets,
 
Keeping Me Close.
Wanting to Highlight,
The Decisions I Chose,
Searching the Dark, For What Is Right,
Heedless To My Screams Into The Night.
 
I Have Dark Secrets
