the secret

although i wish
you hadn't told
me. your secret
won't get out.
i promise.
it's here to
stay. right
here, you tell
her pointing
at where your
heart used
to be. i'll
never tell a soul
about the mischief
you've been up
to. no one
needs to know
what you've
done. not even
your husband.
but you should
come clean at
some point,
and leave me
out of this.
