Secrets

He said Tell me your secrets I promise to keep them safe I gave him my heart Told him about the wind Rustling the leaves outside my window The owl like a night spirit Sitting in the branches keeping me company On sleepless nights Took him to my garden Introduced him to my flowers Told him all my secrets one by one Until I had none left He opened his hands and threw them into the air When they fell to earth, I couldn’t find them Now I stand here with empty hands No secrets No more secrets
