You Will Never Know

I cannot keep my past from you
forever
but I will damn sure
make sure you
never know what I've become.
I won't even have to lie to you.
I don't even want to.
But some things about me
should remain in the shadows.
That is my home that is where I belong.
I'm not filled with light,like you.
I will never be the same after what has happened to me.
Telling you won't change it.
You will only know what I do
what I want to forget.
I have to make this all up to you.
I will keep it all inside.
It is all I can do.
But it is the best gift I can give.
If you have nothing to know
then you will never have to remember.
I love you.
