SECRET KEEPER

Maybe, just maybe, it’s how I seem,

People spill truths they’d never dream.

Secrets dark, some hard to hear,

Still they tell me, year by year.

I don’t mind, I never break,

I hold their words for silence’s sake.

But sometimes I sit and start to guess

Do they trust me…

or just see me friendless?

No one checks if I’m doing okay,

But they know I’ll never give them away.

Funny how being alone this much

makes you the safest one to trust.
