Telling Tales

A secret
Hanging in the air;
Once spoken
It was always there.

I wanted to laugh,
To break the tension,
Say, ‘you’re crazy!’
But her eyes threaten
‘maybe?’

I wish she hadn’t said a word!
I wish I hadn’t heard!

In her eyes, a heartfelt plea,
Relying on my loyalty.

But what if everything was true?
What if she could see it through?
