Stories

Behind the smiles and pretty brown eyes
are stories that will never be told
Stories of horror, of sadness, of slams
Stories both young and old

Stories kept secret for more reasons than one
Stories that will never come out
Stories of pain, of love, of lies
Stories of hate and of doubt

No one needs to know about these awful stories
And no one ever will
These stories will go to the grave with her
And even then she will hold them still
