The Secret

It grows like mold; it infects my mind

A secret so unkind

A stain upon the curtain

Firmly drawn between the lines

Every word and every breath

Reeks of what I can’t confess

I did it. I saw it. No one else did see

Intention, reaction, withdrawal from the scene

I’ve swallowed and swallowed

I’m bursting at the seams

Now I revel in the dark

The lights come up

The curtains part

Shadows unfold before my eyes

Across the room,

Hushed whimpers and cries

I delight in the game

I know no shame

The secret is out

But its power remains
