secret

I'm a secret
That no one can know.

I lie and wait,
Incomplete and afraid
To be told.

The awful way
That secrets make us
Alone.

Well,
That's what I am.

Hidden away and silent
With no one to confide in.
A secret, restless,
Longing to be known.

Impossible,
The words that sting your tongue.
That's what I am,
With your mouth closed,
Alone.

Is it lying
To be quiet?
I don't know.

I'm just a secret,
Searching for a home.
