Secrets Shared
Secrets shared; trust, a bond
Friendship taken just a step beyond
Convictions tested, hope ensues
Paving a road between me and you
When life hurts we may back away
Fearing love may leave us prey
Not wanting to ever hurt again
Can lead to isolation for all men
Life without love holds no hope
Living in the past is not learning to cope
The future is blurred, daunting, unclear
But the present is void, harsh, austere
Sweet little nothings aren’t the way to my heart
But a confidence whispered is truly a start
Finding the strength to bare heart and soul
Praying acceptance will make us whole
Intimacy of mind, not skin and flesh
Is truly a chance to start a life fresh
So tell me your secrets and I’ll tell you mine
With a smile and wink and a bottle of wine
