Secrets and Lies
Closets unopened
To hide out the truth
Ignoring red flags
Reliving our youth
Maturity vanishes
No pride has arrived
Fantasy mysterious
Yet a little contrived
We knew from the start
Complicated lives
Chaotic when apart
Calmness a demise
No rational thinking
Heads filled with lies
Caused by emotions
Feelings to arise
Then quietly the vibe
That was freely provided
Became too confusing
Long time decided
Not wanting to stop
But knowing we should
Distance demanded
Here comes the flood
Too many questions
And so many lies
Attempting a rebuild
With secrets still tied
Who knows the outcome
Is it worth our time
Friendship on offer
Here starts another rhyme
