Secrets and Lies
Secrets and lies
 Telling you would be unwise
 Yet here I am betraying her trust
 With utter disgust I will tell you
 She told me what happened, during showcase
 In a far away place, my mind wandered
 As the scene she described, made me see stars
 She burst into tears and showed me her scars
 She said if I told, her loved one would go behind bars
 I cannot handle this type of secret you see
 I am a good secret keeper yet this one isn’t for me
 What would you do in this situation?
 When you’re stuck between trust and the right accusation
 What would you do if your friend was hurt?
 And you could do something, the right something to blurt
 I am tired and depressed, and I have been mean to you
 Will you forgive me? I really hope you do
 Although I do not deserve your friendship, please try to understand
 I know this is vague, but there is no other way
 I promised her while crossing my toes
 I felt as If this secret would make me stronger
 I was wrong
 But now I’m afraid 
 I can hold it no longer
