She Carries a Secret

     She carries with her a secret
        one she’ll keep forever
     
     She once loved her children
        ‘till they used her as a lever

     against her spouse, ‘twas blackmail
         although it never failed… 
 
     Just what her secret is I cannot tell
         ~ 'twill be revealed when the river swells

Oh, what a chilling and mysterious piece! I loved this one, Gershon! It's rather poignant and has a brutal edge to it.
