Denile

You ask if she's alright
She answers that she's fine
But she can't tell you
That that isn't tue
She's bleeding inside
But she doesn't know why

The smile she has
Is just a disguise
It makes her look okay
But she can't tell you
That she's hurting inside
With many a pain

How would you react
If she were to tell you
What really is happening
That's what she's afraid of
That maybe you won't love her
Or anger may spread to her face

It has been said by her
That you always had a caring heart
Full of love and joy
Would that fade if she were to tell you
Her lover
About her pain?

The pain she feels
Is unknown to her
A walking shadow covering itself
But she knows it's there
But doesn't know why
Or how it got there

Should she ask
Or let it stay locked away
From view and voice
Of an uncaring world
Her secret safe
From those who make rumors

You've seen a change in her
A change that concerns you
Wonder what it is
She won't tell
She couldn't tell
It would pain her to let it sip

Barred and locked
It lies awake
With a gruesome glare
It wants out
Nothing will condemn
Or contain the beast

That night it comes out
Showing its form in true
She feels it's time to tell you
That many a pain she has suffered
Condemning inside the pain
Of forelorne and loss

You show no emotion
From what she says
It's almost certain
Pain for you
That she wouldn't tell
Sooner than now

She blanks but feels warmth
And awakens
Seeing you're holding her
In your arms
She's happy to know you're saying
"It's alright"

Tears fall down
Reddened cheeks
Of she and you
Together you shall be
Of spirit, mind, and body
Of everlasting and evermore
