Secret Stolen

I wish they'd never found out :(

I feel like I have given birth, 

and have had my child stolen from me.

Her name was Secret,

but now all I know is loss.

For this I'm sorry:

that I wasnt able to keep you 

to myself.

You're common now, lost adrift the sea of other's thoughts.

You'll become to them, whatever they want you to be,

and you'll be misunderstood

You'll never truly be mine again.

Oh, surely I will be scorned a million times over for having created such a thing and having kept it hidden, but it is none of that hurts me now...

No, my only cry now is for you, for the thought of you, my love,

being held hostage in their minds, tried against their preconceived prejudices, and slowly but surly being painfully ripped apart.

They have you now, and they will want to discover all of you.

It's a thought I cannot bear.

Oh I miss you

I miss you my Secret

My love.

Some say it is never really yours till it's given away,

but I know the truth;

That when it's gone,

it's more painful than if it never existed at all

This can be taken a couple ways but no matter what it is a powerful poem and that last line is a gut wrencher... nice work.
