Revelations

Revelations of bluffed words
Echo in my mind like swords,
Illuminating how deep moments
Carved within me
I ran into darkness,
Setting off in grief,
Seeking a shield
from others eyes.
Even Love shines a light,
And knowingly, honestly.
I bow my head, earnestly,
Searching for a way to explain
I ran further away,
I bow my head in deep confusion,
Hoping to disappear into the shadows
as moments crumble around me.
I cannot protect myself forever
from the wrath of my grief,
except by going deeper and deeper
into my own solitude.
