My Secret Yearning

There’s a man outside my window
Who’s there most everyday
His tales of poison fill the air
It’s hard to stay away
Save me — Save me
I push the curtain slowly
To bare a hint of light
It pulls my peering soul beyond
The walls of sacred life
Somebody save me — Save me from my secret yearning
Save me — Save me from my secret yearning
My soul is burning
Inside this tiny chamber
Of bars and solid stone
I dig a single earthy grave
But still I’m not alone
I’m too afraid of sleeping
For fear he’ll find the key
I shroud my time in constant prayer
In hopes that he will leave
Somebody save me — Save me from my secret yearning
Save me — Save
Won’t somebody hear that I am calling
And take him from my side
Force him down beneath the ground
And erase him from my life
I need to rest now
I feel so weak
I’ll gain my strength to fight with him
For when we meet — Tomorrow
