Secrets and Lies

Hidden within the depths of my words of the blackest ink
Are the truths only you and I know
Secrets and lies
Stolen moments of passion
Deception of the foulest kind
Concealing true identity
Time revealing sincerity of intentions
Thunderous silence roars
Locked away until the devil speaks his poison

Verbal sins from a malicious tongue
Etched deeply within my memory
Graphically vivid with powerful intensity
Regarded inconsequential
Remnant of the past
Considered residue a leftover wreck 
Inciting me to be patient and strong
You will live to regret your venom
When my retaliation and revenge are revealed

quite a dark tone to this one,expresses the desperation of the reader and at last the promise of revenge.
