He asked
“Have you ever climbed inside a secret
and stayed there for a while?”
I told him that
kisses bruise,
and the faintest touch
makes me bleed for days,
but what I meant was
yes...
I’ve been the center
of a secret
and I’ve lingered
because of the thrill,
but that feeling
that feels so good
leaves a scar
that marks you
for eternity...
