Little Dark Secrets

Secrets should always remain secrets,

Guarded whispers, keep them deep.

In the dark, where no light leaks,

Lies the truth that silence keeps.

But when the silence is broken,

Fear awakens, unspoken

Truths come crashing,

silent screams,

Not all is as it seems.

Secrets should always remain secrets,

When revealed,

it can be as terrifying as a child's scream.

Lock them up, hide away,

Don't let the darkness see the day.

In the secrets, power hides,

Secrets can be cruel brides.

Nights echo with fear’s gleam,

Breaking the innocence of a child's scream.

Once unveiled,

the ghosts convene,

Shadows dancing, in between.

Fear’s shadow, deep and wide,

In the secrets we confide.

Secrets should always remain secrets,

When revealed,

it can be as terrifying as a child's scream.

Lock them up, hide away,

Don't let the darkness see the day.

Whisper, don’t shout, keep it inside,

Let the silence be your guide.

Some truths are better unseen,

Hiding what's in between.

Secrets should always remain secrets,

Guard your heart,

and keep it neat.

For when exposed,

the nightmare’s theme,

Is as terrifying as a child's scream.
