Many times I cried for you in the past, <br /> For your pain and worries, <br />And the sadness that forever lasts. <br /> We both have lived the same nightmare, <br />Yet perceived it in different ways. <br /> There are so many feelings yet hidden, <br />We are still too afraid to say. <br /> We tried to read the lies of long ago, <br />Adopt them as our life. <br /> Now can we let go of the pain, <br />That rips through us like a knife? <br /> I long to shut my eyes to the light, <br />But I can no longer bury the truth- <br /> Our world was not as we wanted, <br />Our dreams never of any worth, <br /> Sometimes I seem so all alone, <br />Yet you are always there. <br /> I must only see your face, <br />To help me calm the eternal fear; <br /> The fear of never having. <br />What others have taken for granted; <br /> Wanting love so unconditional, <br />That heartache has not tainted. <br /> Can we find the peace, <br />The apologies to set us free? <br /> Or must we go on forever hurting, <br />Not opening our eyes to see? <br /> <br />(4/9/90)<br /><br />Lesa MRK<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/hidden-truths-2/
