'tell Me, I Can Keep a Secret'

I have been told I keep a secret well, oh yes, tell me any deep, dark and personal thing; and I will keep it under wraps- you can trust me, to keep it in a locked drawer and throw away the key. Now, tell me everything while I make us tea. Don't feel shy, we are behind closed doors, you have my solemn promise I will keep it confidential; our conversation is top secret and classified, you have my curiosity- you must be hiding something serious. Is it about a secretive lover quite mysterious, oh do tell, I am starting to get delirious. Yes, I know you are a very private person, and like to keep your personal problems to yourself; but revealing what you have concealed will make you free, I have known you for years and your life to me is still invisible. Now, here is your tea and are you cozy- need a snack, maybe some wine to loosen your lips a crack; remember, whatever it is I have your back. I will sit and listen as you tell me your secret story, and say nothing except to nod and smile as we go along; so, you have a lover you keep on the sly, and you meet in a secluded place in disguise. More tea- and you send each other secret mail, that you both destroy so there is no message trail; its my boyfriend! Okay, tell me each pathetic detail. ___________________________ December 27, 2018 Poetry/Rhyme/'Tell Me, I Can Keep a Secret' Copyright Protected, ID 18-1098-599-01 All Rights Reserved.
