Secret Yearning

Thank you for coming by
You see, my soul is dying and I could be next

A darkness in the pit of my stomach
I can feel in as it wells up from inside me
Choking my dreams

Secret yearning of a scarlet heart
Sadness and solitude are the sanctuary for my desires

A lonely girl sits next to herself in a crowded room
With tears dancing on her fingertips

I die every moment
Every day
Dying over you
