Be Still, My Heart
by Bruin Fisher
Be still, my heart, and do not let me
know
The darkest secret lurking there below.
Do not describe the monster you conceal
I do not wish to see my soul revealed.
The day will come when life for me will
end
And with relief I'll clasp that day as
friend.
I lived without the love that others
share,
But I will not disgrace the name I
bear.
Be still, my heart, tell not my tale of
woe.
Do not recount the pain from long ago.
I bear it still, for what else can I do
-
My path is plotted and lies straight
and true.
