Can't Let You In

So empty -
I now feel inside.
There's nowhere I
can run to hide
Betrayed by you,
no that's not true
Why can't I let go,
if only you knew
You watch, you listen,
just waiting to find -
Some way, anyway,
into my mind.
If only you
could understand
This life I've led
that wasn't planned.
Afraid somehow
that you will see;
All that's buried
deep in me.
