A secret that I
had buried deep
is rising to the surface
and disturbing my sleep.
I don’t know
what has occurred
that has led to these
emotions being stirred.
I thought I had left
it all in the past
but now I’m starting
to worry it will
be exposed at last.
Could it be a
guilty conscience
now in fear of
an act of vengeance.
Would it be better
if I told someone
who might have
the answers and it
could be all undone.
But what if they don’t
like what they hear
and believe that my
motives are insincere.
Then they may desert me
and leave me on my own
for what I’ve done
they could never condone.
