It’s hard for me to try to hide
The tears that I hold inside
To see others living happy and free
If only they knew the real me
Afraid to trust and make a friend
Leaves me empty in the end
My family has paid the cost
Their mother and loving wife they have lost
I fantasize about a life I long to live
To escape the pain and refuse to forgive
My innocence was taken away
With grief and anger I live each day
Won’t someone stop the pain I feel
And make me believe that love is real
I have to wonder when will I
Be able to speak and unveil the lies
One day the whole truth will be known
And he will pay for what he has done
With no remorse from him in sight
I pray someday he will see the light.-Anonymous
