Secrets

Secrets

He found the door of my heart locked

With ivy binding it shut.

But still, he would not heed

My warnings to let within be.

He swung his fists, pounding

And yelling at my door,

Demanding to know if there's more.

And so I conceded and let him peak

At the secret words I would not speak.

But even then, I did not know

How much I felt when I let go.

Like a waterfall, they poured out of me.

Words of loss, Words of love,

of anger, of regret, of desire, and on.

They fell so fast, hidden for so long.

They all poured down to the rocks below,

Where they crashed into him and into me.

And lay my secrets bare for all to see.
