so silent
i have been
so quiet
i shall stay
to keep my secrets
i must hide
inside a tomb
of silence
no contact
is permitted
no love
is allowed
only my secrets
and i
reside here
but it is nothing
but trouble for me
my secrets desparatly
wish to be free
i must not
give into so called trust
for i am the only one
who can keep
my secrets safe
in the tomb
of my mind
