don't tell me anything

don't tell
me anything, i
can't be
trusted. i can't
keep a secret.
it last as
long as a piece
of candy in
my pocket. it's
devoured and
gone before
the first ear
is bent towards
me to listen.
it will slip
out my hands
like a wet fish
caught and
begging to be
let go.
so keep it
to yourself, don't
breath a word,
don't even
come near
with what you
know.
