Secrets

My shadow falls away
No sun will touch this truth
Wandering, cold and revealed
almost naked in my sin
I have squandered the best of me
hope descending now with the rest of me
Secrets eat at my guts
and I am consumed completely
Would that my lips could part
and exorcise that which I dare not speak
I am taunted by courage beyond my reach
My body is cleaved in two
one side dead
the other existing in fear of living
My own hand betrays me
and I cannot sleep eternal
The truth is an acid
eating away any hope of resurrection
I am undone
yet left standing
I am alive
yet buried beneath my secrets
