This week’s poem is about keeping a secret that is exposed by another person, not the person keeping the secret. This poem is fiction and from a time where I tried to write at least a poem per week. I used to run out of ideas, so I would use song titles or book titles as inspiration. If I remember correctly, The Secret’s title was inspired by a short story.
The Secret
I wish I had not
Kept a secret before
It closed many doors
It was perfect
Then our relationship
Fell completely apart
The secret was told
And it crushed your heart
I said I was sorry
But you turned away
I thought our love
Would last always
If I could take it back
I surely would
I would not break
Your heart if I could
I would tell the secret
That ruined our lives
I would change everything
And take away your pain.
