A Secret I Never Got to Tell

It's dark out here

Maybe full of monsters lurking

Waiting to devour every bit of me

Out if nowhere sprang the monsters I feared.

Their sharp eyes stabs me like a knife

Fangs cut deep through my skin

All of them, grinning at me

Wanting the flesh of my body

I cried, cried, and cried

I tried to blurt out a word for help

But I just cried... helplessly out there

Years had gone by; memory never faded

As I passed by the same road that night

I felt loneliness inside

That night became a secret I tried to cover

And will still be for the rest of my life.
