secrets

tell me a secret
that no one knows
i’ll tell you one of mine

share a deed
that has been hid
a crossing of the line

dig down deep
i’m sure there’s one
filed in your private Hell

i keep mine buried
in my soul
till He toll’s the bell

so you think you’re special
or quite unique
nothing’s new under the sun

actions, words
look’s we hoped would kill
or would have with a gun

do you remember when
out with your friends
off came the wedding ring

or when in Vegas
you rolled the dice
bud-da-boom then bud-da-bing

sharing my secrets
i must be ready
entirely, i now know

when pain of holding onto them
exceeds my fear
of letting go
