My Secret Love Is No More

My Secret Love Is No More

You made me laugh when nothing could,

You looked at me like no one should,

I felt like fire, I felt like sin,

And I would do it all again.

We met in corners, closed the blinds,

Spoke with eyes, ignored the signs,

I was yours, but not in name,

And loving you still lit the flame.

I bit my lip to stop the truth,

I painted over fading youth,

We danced on glass, we broke the bed,

We killed the quiet in my head.

But secrets sweat, and secrets slip,

They slide from tongue, from trembling lips,

One careless word, one broken trust,

And suddenly, it all turned dust.

They called me names, said I was a whore,

They split us up, we were no more,

The love like candy soon turned sour,

Once we were strong, now we lost all power.

The film was good, then came the end,

You locked your door, for us it was the end.

I see it now, the ending clear,

My secret love has cost me dear.
