Bottled up inside

Bottled up inside
are the words I never said.
The feelings that I hide,
The lines you never read.
You can see it in my eyes,
Read it on my face.
Trapped are the lies of the past
with memories that linger,
Won’t seem to go away.
Why can I be happier?
Today is brand new day.
Yesterdays are over,
Even though the hunting is not.
Nothing lasts forever,
I must cherish what I’ve got.
Don’t take my love for granted
for soon it will be gone.
All you’ve ever wanted
the love you thought you’d won.
The hurt I’m feeling now won’t disappear over night.
But somehow, someday,
Everything will turn out alright.
No more wishing for the past,
It wasn’t meant to be,
Didn’t seem to last.
So I have to set you free.

Some things just aren't meant to be said-maybe it is inappropriate, maybe it is just not the time. For now, I have to be contented with bottling it up, and not let the dizzying surge of emotions overflow and influence my rational mind.
