Can You Keep A Secret?

Write a poem with this as the title.

Can You Keep A Secret?

if i

told you

my secret


would you

tell

a soul?


would you

brandish

my inner thoughts


for everyone

to

see?


or would

you keep

it


quiet

and

out of sight?


maybe

left

it in


the darkest

cubby

you have?


but

i guess

there’s


no point

in

saying


when i

already

know


how you’ll

react

to this


you’ll say

it’s fine

and


pretend that

you don’t

judge me


because

i am

so in


love with

you

but you


are not

with

me
