Confiding in Words

Sorrow, when she's here with me,
A veil of happiness I'll try to lace,
To forge a smile upon my face,
An eternal friendship I'll decree,
A lie to be in any case.

I'll borrow, meanwhile, a mended heart,
To stare at you with no remorse,
As impassive actors I'll act my part,
But inside my heart grows ever hoarse,
Screaming of love I wish not to find,
Holding you close inside my mind.

Had only the future been clear to see,
I'd know how doomed it was to be,
Alas, path of agony I'll forcibly abide,
To control emotions still burning inside,
My feelings I'll let confide, in poetry.
