I'll Never Tell

Alone in my room,
aren't I the fool,
no light to see by,
it's what I prefer.
I belong in the dark,
and I hide the mirror,
I can't stand to see,
the person I've become.
Tortured and raped,
from the inside out,
I've cried for help,
but no one heard.
So I stand before you,
in all my pride,
my dignity lost,
my bonds still intact.
Here in this place,
I want to leave,
but I'm afraid to run,
afraid to try.
I've lived in fear,
and I'm tired of hiding,
I'm ready to fight,
but I still cower.
I hide from you,
and all the pain,
that you don't realize,
you caused me.
You hurt me more,
than you'll ever know,
but I love you still,
so I'll never tell.
