I regret that I ever told you. Even from the first second the words slipped from my lips to your ears I knew it was a mistake. You begged for me to give in, to tell you what it is I was keeping from you, but you never really understood that secrets were not meant to be told. And even when I did, You were still not satisfied. You kept pinching and stretching my heart to its brink. "I gave you my life, This is what you repay me with?" And all of a sudden, You clench my hand a little tighter and I don't know if you are upset, or protective of the innocent girl you thought you had lost. You guilt-trip me into a place I know I don't belong, but it feels like I'm now living in a home where the walls are slowly closing in on me, and all youth and innocence I had always known is finally lost.

my final secret

Context: This is based on when I came out to my parents at bi. Enjoy.
