Britni Huskey Poet Free verse

I am the keeper of all things

I am the keeper of all things
Always closed and never open 
Never to share
Never to whisper
I am the one listening to all your frustrations your aggravations and the things that piss you off in your life your job everything 
Never to share 
Never to whisper
I am the one sinking in the shadows as a temporary guest
Hearing what they all say about everything yet for me
Never to share 
Never to whisper
I am the one that slowly defends in the shadows against nay sayers 
Yet for your nay sayers I am also the keeper of all things
Never to share
Never to whisper
While you sit there coldly i want you to remember 
I am always closed never open 
Never to share
Never to whisper 
I am the one to promise never to say a word
For me that is a promise held dearly regardless of what is being said in the shadows 
The shadows is where the whispers come from take them for a grain of salt for I have not done anything 
At the end of the day 
I am the keeper of all things for everyone 
Always closed never open 
Never to share 
Never to whisper
