Keeping Secrets Hidden thoughts in someone's mind, The secrets that no one must find. Almost seen but never found, Even after you're in the ground. Hidden secrets in your eyes, Kept in a clever disguise. Never given, never told, Locked away like silver and gold. Hide your secrets out of reach, In a seperate place for each. Keep your secrets in their space, Out of view and in their place. Silent pain inside, Something I must try to hide. A secret that cannot be told, One that I must always hold. Hidden need and hidden stares, Knowing that no one cares. A rising heartbeat; he doesn't know. It's something I can never show. Many secrets are hidden here, Kept behind a wall of fear. Secrets that are a mysterious art, Locked away inside my heart.                                    Laura Dewey Copyright ©2001 Laura Dewey
