Secrets


I have a secret,
  that only I know.
You know the type of secret,
  that can never be told.
I wish I could share it,
  with someone like you.
But this type of secret,
  can never be shared.
Not even with you,
  although I know you care.
I wish I could tell someone,
  before I burst.
But if anyone knew,
  people would only get hurt.
Yes, I have a secret,
  that I can never tell.
Because if I hurt them,
  I would only hurt myself.
