Unspoken Love Will Kill You In Your Soul. Poem by Mandy Lee

There are things that we do
for the people that we love;
Strange things. From the ground
up to the sky above.

There are their secrets which we keep,
and bring with us to the grave.
There are their words, thoughts and actions,
that makes us free men and women all act like slaves.

There are their secrets which we keep,
which in our souls will burn away.
And yet we still stay steadfast
and never let them see the light of day.

They are the people we protect,
who know naught of this protection.
For we all fear if they knew
what went beyond mere affection.

They are the people that you love,
and yet must daily now ignore.
They are the reason that you are fearful,
to step out and explore.

You have seen them cry,
and weep before they sleep.
You have tried to walk away,
but you know you're in far too deep.
