This is about a secret.
I keep it safer than myself,
because to expose it,
is to loose everything.
I keep in safe in this prison
I keep it in my head,
and on the tip of my tongue.
But I am eaten alive by it.
It was a cold night...
That is the only detail
I can remember of this betrayal.
Will I ever be free?
She waited for me at home,
and I wasn't there.
I was nowhere,
and everywhere I shouldn't have been.
I will never know what
brought me to that point,
but that is not what this is about.
The secret is the poison I keep.
I look in her eyes,
and she smiles at me.
I scream in silence,
and smile back.
What is this undeserving trust?
What am I supposed to do with this love?
I am unclean.
And you are everything.
To keep this is to die,
and to give it to you is to kill.
I will set you free,
and take my silence...
Goodbye.

Great write, I can relate and I know how keeping such dark secrets can eat you up inside. Maybe putting your trust in the person in your poem would help, or telling a complete stranger just to get it out so it no longer consumes you!
Good luck in the contest! -
