Whispers

I have a secret to keep,
a secret to share.
I lost something dear,
something close within me.

I have a secret to keep,
a secret to share.
See that boy over there?
He distracts me.
Sit down, stand up,
drink, smoke, laugh out
loud… he might as well
carve himself in my head.

I can’t eat when I see him,
I can’t concentrate when I don’t;
I may feel fine
but I wish for something
MORE, something else…

I have a secret to keep,
a secret to share.
I lost something;
See that boy over there?
Someone stole my heart;
it was him; only…
he is not aware.
