You Can Tell Me

You can tell me the secrets you keep inside 
All the things from the world you hide 
You can tell me the things that have brought you shame 
The things you think have spoiled your name 
You can tell me the things that keep you up at night 
The things in your heart you hold so tight 
You can tell me the traumas of your life 
The things that in agony make you writhe 
You can tell me your secrets I promise to keep 
To another soul I will never repeat

This title grabbed my eye and this read is why! From the first line to the last "I can tell you" I really like this thought! :-)

Things told in confidence should never be repeated. Relationships are built on trust. To tell a secret is one sure way of destroying that. Thanks for taking the time to read this Walter. :)
