I hide my pain to halt the fates cruel games
Concealed anguish flickers, get stays untamed
Hidden sorrows wraps fight around my soul
For every moment without you takes its toll
Silenced torment whispers soft in the night
Masked heartache blooms, but stays out of sight
I bury grief deep, where no one can see
Knowing you live free of memories of me
A quiet despair unseen and chained
To spare you the weight of my endless pain
In shadows I linger alone yet set free
Letting you live as I fade quietly...
