keeping your cards close

you almost say the things
you want to say, but you stop
yourself.
what good will that do.
you'll be forced
from that point on to be open
and honest.
it's an exhausting
way to live a life,
having no secret feelings,
no desires
hidden. every thought
a sheet of glass to look
through to the other side.
it's best to keep
quiet. let things figure
themselves out
on their own time.
no need to speed the clock
forward with an open heart,
and open wound.
