Analysis of Hidden
I lost my heart, so they say
But I know its dark place
Forever stored away
Wrapped by grief's embrace
Private, veiled memories
Intimate deep inside
Secret, where no one sees
And love has gone to hide
Silent in darkness be
Alone, left to mourn
When wonted hurt reminds me
What is lost and yet not gone
