Hidden Longings

Such agony, these feelings hidden deep within me,
Pressed against my breast, seeking sweet release;
I ask myself: what am I to do, where shall I go
To obtain much needed solitude and peace?

Beside flowing waters I find the answer,
The sound.. touching the very depths of my soul;
Enticing me to let go of the pain and the loneliness
Entrapped deep within, amid secrets that only I know.

But I hold fast, not daring to let these feelings show forth,
Knowing the consequences that would be sure to follow;
Choosing rather to bury them amid sorrow and pain..
No choice remains, but to do only what my heart will allow.

As the future unfolds.. and my life inevitably continues,
Circumstances may enter in, altering decisions I’ve made;
But for now, dear heart, on this path there must and will remain
Words unspoken, etched upon my heart...and never said.
