Glances stolen across a darkened room
Secrets still kept in their place
Eyes that hide desires untold
Remain hidden behind the face
Half-hearted smiles 
Keep the unwanted at bay
No emotions to be seen
No words to say
Insecurities holding you down
Eyes shifting at contact
Secret admiration, Heart's affliction
A troubled past holding you back
One drink down, working on the third
Standing in your corner alone
Intoxication becomes the controller
Forcing your secrets to be known.
