Secrets

By malevolencefixation

Secrets swirl around us
Like haunting little ghosts
Greedy leering parasites
And we, we are the hosts. 

Secrets will envelop you
If you let them get too close,
So keep your smile painted on
Fake a laugh, and pose.

Watch life go on around you
As secrets bury you alive
A never ending torture..
That WILL be your demise.

So go to bed, and cut your skin,
Let secrets drain away.
Facade aside, it's the secrets turn
To come outside and play

Slowly, painfully cut yourself
And let your secrets free.
Paranoia killed you..
Your secrets were safe with me.
