Secret, I beg you, remain asleep Tip-toe by you, a stealthy sneak I don’t want to know, I don’t want to see What you hid from the world, what you hid from me
Hold me down, I mustn’t proceed "That was then and this is now" Repetition is key To make me forget of the time before me
But, sadly,
I’m a contradiction, far too weak I must know, please, just one peek What do you hold? What surreptitious past do I greet? What is the truth? Who is he? I see the videos and photography Let me in, let me see Secret, secret, awake for me
This is a poem I wrote after retro-jealousy took over me in my relationship. I saw a photo that made me feel too much and this was its product. I know a lot of people can relate to the icky feeling of this retro-jealousy. Enjoy.
