The Secret I Can’t Spill (Early Roughdraft)

*Favorite thing I have written in a very long time.

I pretend memories don’t exist

Stuffed in the corners of my mind

Because I think it easier to be blind

But they never let be, always insist

It took me 15 years to hear a story

If I didn’t know anything about you

None of the hurt would cut through

You deserved more, deserved glory

For I remember all that is possible

The moments right before I was told

Your watch on mom’s arm, old & gold

Kneeling by the casket, the impossible

You’re the secret I hold dear, for fear

If I say too much, I won’t be able to recall

That I’m the girl that jumped at the call

From the swing, to greet you with cheer
