don't go in there

don't go
in there.
that closet is
off limits.
it's where
I keep
the skeletons,
the secrets.
the poems
that never
get read,
the things
i'll never say
or do.
don't go in
there.
the light is
dark.
there are
things in there
that will
cut and harm
you.
leave that knob
unturned.
don't go
in there.
