The Secret I Keep

I have a secret to tell.
But you have to promise not to repeat it.
Not to anyone.
Not to the wind, the sky, the falling leaves.
You can’t whisper it to the dark, in your hands, through your tears.
No matter the consequence, no matter the pain.
It must never leave your lips.
It must stay bottled up inside your ribcage, locked inside your mind.
Where no one could see.
My mind is a terrible place to be.
