When love had a secret
I loved you like I had no choice,
like your name was my only voice.
I believed you without a doubt,
never once waiting to find truth out.
You felt like home inside my skin,
like something safe I could fall in.
I gave you trust without a fight,
thought you were my only light.
Then I saw what you tried to hide,
a second world you kept inside.
Another name, another life,
and I was never meant to be your wife.
No warning came, no final sound,
just pieces of me falling down.
Not loud, not fast, not easy to see-
just something breaking quietly in me.
Now I don't know how to feel,
if what i had was ever real.
You took my trust, you took my air,
and left me standing in "nowhere there".
I don't cry loud, I don't scream pain,
I just feel empty when it rains,
And I still ask the same old line-
Was any of it ever mine?
