It gnaws
Frustrates
Haunts.
Reason?
Its best they said to say nothing
People will be hurt
You wouldn’t want that would you?
It’s the festering injustice
The wrong
Loss of character
Humiliation
You don’t deserve
It’s unfair.
If I say anything
What will it mean?
Shame?
Despair?
Unwanted scrutiny?
I watch you day to day
This secret weighs heavy on you.
I want you released from this burden
But do I dare?

Oh my the anguish of not knowing….well done Michael
Thank you Oliana. I hope your evening is going ok.
The secrets shared – a a bit of backbiting perhaps … well written.
Thank you Georgia. I like your comment.
Glad you do … how’s your evening?
My evening was restful and a good sleep was had.
The curse of a secret. It always wants to get out but you must keep all the doors sealed. Quite odd it is.
Thank you so much. Thanks for reading and your comment. Michael.
Some secrets are better left to be forgotten. Well written Michael. I felt the indecision in this one.
Thanks so muchly Jackie. Your comments are always wise.
The truth always comes out…
