Secrets

There are things in this world
That are meant to be hidden
Things that are very happily bidden
Farewell with good thanks and
Lots of good memories
To the things that are ignoring necessities
Like friendship or love
Or just plain old hate
Or beautiful things, like a dove
Or the food on your plate

Things like this can make evil creatures
Things like this aren't just bonus features
They are things that can kill us
They are things that can break us
From our souls and ourselves
From places inside us that we dare not dwell
From our heart and our mind
It will squeeze you and bind
They will take the very things that matter
Like your love or the things on your platter

So be careful with these things
Because secrets are their names
And they might just drive you insane
