Outside my window

Just something I came up with today

My lover is just outside the door.

You know he's there but you don't say anything.

I hate lying to you but I have to.

If you know what is good for you,

You won't ask any questions.

Some secrets are better kept secret.

I have done things to protect you.

Some shameful and unspeakable.

Just know I love you even if it doesn't appear I do.

My lover is just outside my window.

I know he's there but can't say a word.

I hate knowing you know I am lying.

If I knew what was good I would just leave. 

Nothing can make this better. 

No matter of truth will make this right.

If I told you my troubling secret it may get you killed.

I would die inside if I let that happen.

I can't take it much longer. 

I must tell you my secret.

You need to know everything.

My soul can't take this much more.

When I turn to look outside .....

You are at my window.

Very interesting piece. It tells a story, and there's a great amount of intense emotion towards the end, when she's debating what to do, then that person is outside her window.. Interesting, fun to read, and leaves you thinking about things. Beautiful write (:
