Now all I can breathe is this moment

Yesterday seems so far behind

And all I can hear is your crying

And the drums that beat deep inside


Now all I can taste is cotton

Bitterness so sweet on my tongue

And all I can feel is the stone in my chests

That still moves to the hymns that we sung




And now my lips, still chapped and broken

How dare you know me so well

You're the most perfect forever that I'll ever see

A thousand secrets that I'll never tell




Now the tears on my cheeks are frozen

Now shadows bleed from my eyes

And now my days seem so much longer

Because yesterday seems so far behind

 Helen Keller once said "Keep your face to the sunshine and you will not see the shadows."  I am grateful that I got to read this having gone through life knowing that something as beautiful as this was written. I like the styling of the poetry with good shape and a nice structure to it. "A thousand secrets that I'll never tell" I like that quote, it means something deeper than words can describe. Thank you, this is beautiful.

Last question before I go, why will you not tell those thousand secrets?
