UNCONFESSED LOVE

 

Like hoarded gold she kept them locked,

In the chambers of heart, blocked,

She didn’t dare to let them escape,

And they grew in to fearful shape.

She pretended there wasn’t one,

To be kept from others hidden,

Deposited like fossils and stones,

Concealed deep in her soul’s zones.

Kept in cramped dark space inside

She didn’t allow the secrets to slide,

Not any trust-worthy soul to confide,

She bore agony, preserved her pride.

Like keeping treasure in mausoleum,

Buried feelings perished without freedom,

Ghosts of her feelings ate away her soul,

But she didn’t allow feelings any parole.

Her secrets were not of any sin,

Just she couldn’t find any expression,

In vaults of her heart it will remain,

Love couldn’t find her sweet confession.
