Secret Fire

Within my heart a secret lies
That I can never tell
A secret love so deep inside
That I have hidden well
My aching heart longs for you
To touch me day and night
But I can never breathe the words
Because fear holds me tight
I wish that I could open up
And realize my hearts one hope
But I know deep down inside
Of your reaction I could not cope
You could never feel the same
Knowing my hearts desire
And I would never be the same
As I am destroyed by the fire
Left alone to die inside
With this aching, burning need
Quickly consumed into flames
That leave my heart to bleed
So I can never tell you
The secret I hold deep inside
And you will never know
For you how much I've cried
I must keep my secret
And hide it very well
Keeping smiles and laughter first
While inside my secret fire
Lingers in secret hell
