Secrets Kept Secret
I could tell you a secret,
But it's locked inside.
I could dig in and reach it,
If I dismantled my pride.
I really want to tell you,
But you're in a different state of mind.
I might've tried to tell you,
Yet, still it's something I've got to hide.
You wouldn't like it.
You wouldn't approve.
And reflecting everything,
Far away you'd move.
If I told you,
No comfort would be there.
Misunderstanding,
With a cold distant glare.
So, I won't tell you,
Even if you plead.
Secretly you don't care,
About my secret, or me.
