________________________________________I have spoken words’
That I thought,
Would never cross my lips.
Despite my inhibitions’
They spill out my mouth,
And leave me bare.
That had been locked,
Up so deep inside.I had forgotten’
Where they were,
They leave me trembling.
All the darkness’
That surrounds me,
Is fading away.
And I am awash’
In the pale light,That leaves me free.
