Secrets

 Can you keep a secret?

How often are secrets left untold?

How many have traveled to graves with their keepers?

Are secrets worth keeping?

What is the harm?

Leaving them to fester and burn to be released?

Why would you keep it?

Who could you tell?

Should they be left to be forgotten?

How many secrets are whispered into the night, waiting to be told?

Would you keep a secret?

If told by a stranger?

What if I told a secret?

Would you return the favor?

Is that not keeping a secret?

Promise not to tell?

Take it to your grave?

Never to tell the tale?

Will you keep a secret?

In the back of your mind?

At the bottom of your heart?

I think I'll keep the secret, as you seem uncertain,

Never answering, no matter the wait.

The void knows the secret, never saying a word,

I'll take the secret, and pray that the void keeps it,

I won't tell a soul, as that is the deal.

I can keep the secret, forever silent.

Taking and keeping to the grave, I will.

Could you the secret? I can.
