I Know A Secret©

In the cover of the darkness of night

In the darkest corner of the noisiest room

He leaned into me

Cupped my ear and quietly told me a secret

He begged me not to tell another soul

Or there would be danger in store for all that were told

So I wondered why he cast me into this circle of secrets

He told me that I was his trusty old soul

But could tell me no more

I can’t get angry for we all have secrets

Just not ones that can end all those that can hear them

Next time someone closes in on you

Step out into the open for all to see

Don’t let another bend your ear

For I’m certain you won’t like what you hear
