Hidden Love

author unknown

The most painful type of love there is

Is the love that's left alone;

A love that cannot be expressed,

Affection left unknown.

It's love that hides behind a mask

Of happiness and glee,

Yet all that's left deep down inside

Is pain and misery.

It's love that tries to hide away

How much it really cares.

It's kept locked within one's heart,

The feeling flowing there.

It's love that withholds speaking,

Afraid what it would say;

And the most painful thing about hidden love

is that it never fades away.
