Darkness vs. Light

"some things are just better kept inside" read and you'll see

Behind the walls

In a little corner, masked by graces, glamour or stature

Lies the unknown, at least to you

Memories, deeds thought to be unthinkable you see

Reluctant desires, remorseful actions many things that never meets the eyes

Hiding, covered by expressions metamorphosed that fathom nothing,

Explaining nothing, covered by the obvious

Wearing many faces

Never coming to light

 

Living in the dark

On the down low

Under the layers that are generated to hide

Its not lying, some things are just better kept inside

Constantly working, forgetting sometimes it exists

Believing its better left that way, though my conscience is closing in

Tapping at my heart, begging for escape

But pain would be the reward; I couldn’t bear to see your face

Smiling while I’m thinking, I’m glad you can’t see in my heart

 

Wondering when it will be over

Thinking maybe it won’t be so bad

But eventually resorting to the previous practice I had

Hiding, vowing I’ll take it to the grave

No traces, no hints or clues to find

That part of me is buried, never to be seen again

My many secrets are forever safe at least that’s what I feel

 

Smiling at your curious questions

Ignoring the obvious scars

Panicking on the inside, hoping its not about to happen

I see the way you now look at me, I know you know something

You’re beating around the bush, smiling when I try to lie

I thought I hid them so good, now all I can do is cry

Begging for your forgiveness, watching the hatred dance in your eye

Darkness has now become the light, as secret they are no longer described

As you threw the symbol of our union at me

And the truth pushed you out of my life

I like the idea and meaning in the poem, and your writing is good, but it is a little tricky to read becuase of teh missing flow. Otherwise it was great!
