A Secret Place

There's a secret place I like to go
Everyone is there but their face don't show
If you get inside you can't get out
There's no coming back, I hear them shout
Welcome to my Hideaway, my Secret Place
How I arrived I can't explain
You're welcome to, if you want to stay
But everyone just runs away

Let me in... Get me out....
Can't do more than twist and shout
Lost my soul without a trace
Found it again in my secret place
In disgrace

I hide from those that try to find me
Scary things that's right behind me
I lost myself, I must confess
I can't explain how I got this mess


I just feel for some reason, that these words aptly describe my life pertaining to my relationships with other people swimmingly.

'There's a secret place I like to go...Everyone is there but their face don't show'
This 'place' is the Zone or shell I withdraw into somewhere in my mind,when I'm thinking of people who matter to me, yet because of circumstance or incidents, I don't matter to them anymore. That really hurts.

'If you get inside you can't get out...There's no coming back, I hear them shout'
Once I'm drawn into that part of my mind, the feeling just overwhelms me. It's like an addiction. A drug. You know the feeling? It's something that I can't explain. Not with words. And there's no coming back for a 2nd chance, or even a chance to make things up to the person(s) who you care(d) for...

'Welcome to my Hideaway, my Secret Place...How I arrived I can't explain'
I share with you my place of refuge...that Secret Place inside my head which records all the emotions concerning love in my life...I don't know how it came to be, but I guess that's one of God's mysteries...in times when I'm left alone and far from my loved ones, say training in the jungle in Taiwan, freezing from being caught in the thunderstorm, hungry from not having enough food and tired from pushing myself physically and mentally...without warning my mind will transport me into that Secret Place, and I'll feel a familiar pain...

'You're welcome to, if you want to stay...But everyone just runs away'
I wish that sometimes, the people that matter could step in my shoes for once and feel what I feel. That they would get transported into my Secret Place where I'll gladly welcome them. But if only they knew what I felt, they would be scared off by it...and just run away from it, leaving time to do the dirty work instead of just settling it in an amicable manner.

'Let me in... Get me out....Can't do more than twist and shout'
I desire to get into that Zone, if only to glimpse or re-live those moments with those persons who matter...yet, it is pure mental and emotional torture to go running through those moments in your mind and knowing that it's never gonna happen again...

'Lost my soul without a trace...Found it again in my secret place...In disgrace'
I've been guilty of some bad things in my life.Where I've forgotten myself completely and gotten involved in things I shouldn't be getting involved in.In short, I've lost my soul. In moments of love and emotion, adrenaline and testosterone pumps. I should have held a tight rein on it. In the end, I found myself...disgraced.

'I hide from those that try to find me...Scary things that's right behind me'
There are those, who up till this day, still have unfinished business with me. They try to find me and they rape my privacy, depriving me of my right to keep my counsel to myself. Although it would be nice if everything was in perfect black and white, sometimes things just take a shade of gray, and somethings should be left to be covered up by the passage of time...please don't pursue what is not meant to be.

'I lost myself, I must confess...I can't explain how I got this mess'
The wonder of relationships is that sometimes when I'm lonely,there's no one to keep me company. But when I'm not looking for it, multiple people come into my life, seeking to establish a union with me, getting me entangled in a web of false hopes and broken hearts. For both me and the multiple people.

Goodbye 1000 times goodbye
The thought never crossed my mind
That this would be my last goodbye
Let me put pennies on your eyes
And kiss your lips one last goodbye
My love 1000 times goodbye
