Secret

My little secret, I'll keep you safe and warm. Remind me that I'm still alive, Not comatose, not paralyzed; My tiny burning fire Splitting my weak heart. I need you; I want you. You know that; Deceive me. I promise to protect you, Build a fortress tall and strong. Stay inside, Don't dare peek out! They'll see you And take you. Cut you from my spirit, A sharpness In my empty chest. You're the evil treasure: My secret, Secret talisman, Curse me night and day. Burn the sweetness in my soul. My dirty little secret, My pleasant little hurt, I need you. Oh, I want you to stay; You'll not be let out. You poison all my better moments; Bittersweet, you draft my tears. Please don't tell, Just stay inside. Keep you guarded, Know you're mine, Liquid salt strained from my eyes, My little secret: Keep it.
