i once gave all my secrets away.
i gave all my hopes and dreams,
even the horrible things.
i loved whole-heartedly,
one fragment at time.
i did do that once in my life.
burn.
i attempt to unravel, undress
these barriers now standing-between
you a n d me.
i fear the parts i gave along the ride,
are presently no longer mine
to own,
they were stolen somewhere-
upon the irrecoverable road.
i search subdued secrets
and invisible inclinations-
only to find,
what appears to be,
this tattered tangled twisted mind.
is diminished by
long-lost-leftover love.
stale but dispensing
hopes and dreams,
even the horrible things.
so long as you promise
to keep them somewhere safe
i promise one day,
to open locked gates-
and give to YOU
all my secrets away.
