You are mysterious and hidden
Not allowing even a glimpse of hope or sparkle of redemption shine
Parched upon a distant hill
Removed and safe in your dreams-be still
Secrets sow your weeping shuttering heart to your own safe keeping
Muted, safety's on, vulnerability is a loaded gun
Blank eyes to elude strength but buckling are your knees in the lifeless shifting
You tell yourself you need not no one
'Tis to be a shame to hold an expression of want on your lips
Contours of hard lines to hide your hungering strain for love
Your heart is beating and aching for the keeping
Hallowed holes, digging ditches to bury the truth only your thoughts know
A stranded soul of a mate who will never hold you
For you remain covered, caressing cold company only ravens know
