Hiding

Hiding is the one thing I do best;
Hiding my feelings, my thoughts,
My love.
I am quite content to do so…
While hiding in my world I cannot get hurt –
Or can I?
You do not see me… I am hiding.
You do not see my love for you
A love that runs so deep in my soul.
No, you do not see me
And you fall in love with another.
You promise your life to her
Without ever knowing how much I love you.
Hiding is the one thing I do best…
But it cannot protect me.
