Free
I could see what lay hidden
and had never seen light
reaching into your depths
I tried to make it right
making up for the things
you had missed on your way
but it still lays unearthed
won't see the light of day
you say you weren't ready
but our time might come
so we played with fire
'til one of us succumbed
loving you was hard
and I took the risk
giving not your heart
but only your kiss
a tear will not fall
for those yesterday's
for what was not nourished
but instead, put away
the shadow stretches long
on the times spent with you
silence falls heavy
on all you subdued
like a mask it does cover
all but our passion
in despair comes the heartbreak
that is always in fashion
you hide the truth
asking nothing of me
the shroud does not slip
when you set me free
