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
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?
