When the Darkness Falls

When in public she is strong. Independent and tall In all ways, she is happy Until the darkness falls When the stars are out And heads rest gently upon pillows The tears star to fall Hidden like a secret not mentioned And only seen only by her heart The pillow catches it all No one would have ever guessed Not even her closest of friends That when the sun rises She stands straight and tall Putting away that secret she hides She stands independent, strong and, As happy as any one could ever be Again, until the darkness falls When the stars are out, and heads are resting gently upon pillows The tears start to fall Hidden and seen only by her own heart The pillow catches it all No one knows what she hides inside And no one but herself keeps the secret in her heart And on the pillow that catches it all When the darkness falls
