Secrets
Secrets consume;
Eating and tearing away:
You soul and spirit,
Heart and body.
Secrets destroy;
Tear at the threads-
The lifelines connecting us-
Without care or remorse.
Secrets devour;
Enjoying the crack of trust,
The shatter of hearts,
The pain they bring.
And after secrets are exposed,
They follow you on the road;
Piling higher and higher,
Preparing to strike again.
