Secrets

Secrets fill my heart
One by one i lock them inside
Then i remember the very start
Every punch ive thrown
Every word ive sung
Every shared ice cream cone

Secrets fill my every lie
Every fallen tear
Every wish to die
Then i remember all the people
Who have cared, through the years
And every finger steeple

Secrets fill my mind
Many will never be told
Its easy to fake being kind
Everyone, i fear
Has slipped out of my grasp
Even the ones I hold most dear

Secrets fall from my lips
As i speak the unspoken
Some escape my finger tips
Love is the only trade token

Author's Note

Finger steeple is this thing me and my mom did when i was little

Some escape my finger tips
Love is the only trade token"

You tell the truth straight away. It's the easiest to share secrets with your loved ones.

Be it any kind of secret, you will always have someone to share them with.

You can tell when reading this that there are so many hidden meanings behind the words, like you mention with the finger steeple, that each carry a story for the author. I thought the emotion came through clearly and strongly in this poem and I enjoyed the read.

I agree, you should never stop writing, you are really talented at it, I struggle with rhyming! but you do it soo easily.

Thanks for sharing this.
