Secrets

Go to sleep

A world on the mind

So many secrets

To be found in time

 

Wish for more

In a world of redundancy

Don't believe everything

That you see on T.V.

 

A secret kept

On a pretty pink mouth

Just wishing for some way

For it to get out

 

Sit on the edge

And flirt with danger

Live laugh and love

And speak to a stranger

 

A whisper

Taken on a sudden wind

A friendship lost

And found again

 

Written words

And words never said

Trapped inside

Of someone's hurting head

 

A strum of a guitar

and a lyric sung

A soul unraveled

And thoughts undone

 

A shy smile

Come to light

A lonely child

Afraid of the night

 

A sudden beat

In a heart's desire

A bottle smashed

A raging fire

 

A swingset

Sitting all alone

A missing item

To the world unknown

 

A burning want

For the things unmentioned

A lowered voice

To catch your attention

 

A glance to the sides

And cautious words

The power there

To heal or to hurt

 

Secrets are kept

And secrets are told

Some of them new

Most of them old

 

In the shadow of the day

And the whisper of the wind

Your secrets wait

To be found again
