Secrets

I write the title
A foregleam of words to be told
Only to stare at a blank page
For what could I write
The sayings of my heart are captive
Bound by my word of truth
My lips are held in chains
Unable to utter the things 
Weighing on my mind 
My secrets
The words I need to share
Locked within the confines of your thoughts
The ones I promised I wouldn’t tell
Your secrets
Travelled from your mouth to my ear
Now trapped in the darkest shadows of my heart
Shadows cast by love
And a desire to cause no more pain
So this blank page has been filled
Though with my thoughts only
For always will your secrets
Remain my secrets
