There are secrets that we hide from others <br />even the ones who you thought entrust. <br />All tucked in closets or under shared beds <br />or in drawers marked, 'Do not touch! ' <br /> <br />Some shameful things we feel might destroy <br />what our years of love and trust have built. <br />So afraid of what others might think <br />when your secrets reveal your hidden guilt. <br /> <br />Skeletons in your life's closets <br />rattling dirty bones within your mind. <br />Hoping that some you love, but may lose <br />will never uncover or even find. <br /> <br />Should have shared them from the start <br />those secrets you felt needed keeping out of view. <br />They might have understood, why they were hidden <br />only then showing them, another part of you.<br /><br />Linda Winchell<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/the-secrets-that-we-keep/
