Love Poem: The Secret

The Secret

Imagine not knowing your heart and your head
Work together so well that it fills you with dread
When your heart is broken, your head feels it too
Depression and sadness pierces right through
Because it hurts

You put your head and your heart into loving someone
And now they’re not there your life is over and done
Let the sadness take over and fall into the arms
Of the waiting reaper and all of his charms
Because it hurts

There’s no way out, no way up, only down
Down through earth and water, to bury, to drown
‘To get the release that only death offers me
Because this is the only way that I can see’
Because it hurts

But there is someone who loves you, and hurts when you do
But doesn’t want to risk saying the words  ‘ I love you’
For the effort is wasted when you no longer bide
But you’ll go without knowing that a part of them died
Because it hurts them too
