Behind Closed Doors

I walk these halls, shadows follow me,

Whispers of a life I’m not allowed to see.

Every step I take, he’s already there,

Every lie he breathes, fills the frozen air.

I hide my pain behind a fragile smile,

Counting every heartbeat, every mile.

The world outside is out of reach,

And every lesson I’ve learned he seeks to teach.

Behind closed doors, I’m fading slow,

A prisoner of a love I shouldn’t know.

Every scar tells a story he won’t see,

But one day, these chains won’t hold me.

I trace the cracks in the ceiling above,

Each one a memory of a broken love.

I dream of air that doesn’t taste like fear,

Of someone who will see me, really hear.

I hide my pain behind a fragile smile,

Counting every heartbeat, every mile.

The world outside is out of reach,

And every lesson I’ve learned he seeks to teach.

Behind closed doors, I’m fading slow,

A prisoner of a love I shouldn’t know.

Every scar tells a story he won’t see,

But one day, these chains won’t hold me.

I feel the walls closing in,

But I whisper my escape within.

One day I’ll break, one day I’ll rise,

And see the truth behind his lies.

Behind closed doors, I’m finding me,

Every scar, a step to be free.
