My darkest secrets, hidden away,
Locked in a vault, day after day.
Memories that haunt me, deep inside,
A part of me that I cannot hide.

They're the shadows that follow me around,
Whispers in the dark, without a sound.
The fears that grip me, in the night,
A never-ending, unwelcome sight.

I try to bury them, deep in the ground,
But they always find a way to resound.
The secrets that I carry with me,
A weight that no one else can see.

They're the scars that mark my soul,
A part of me that I cannot control.
The mistakes that I wish I could erase,
A past that I cannot replace.

But in the midst of my darkest fears,
I find a light that wipes away my tears.
A glimmer of hope that shines so bright,
A love that fills me with its light.

For in the midst of my darkest night,
I find a love that makes everything right.
A love that embraces me, flaws and all,
A love that stands tall, through every fall.

So though my secrets may never see the light,
I know that in love, everything is made right.
For in the embrace of a love so true,
I find the strength to face whatever I must do.
