Secrets For Me To Keep

So many secrets
Even ones I wish nobody told me
Could they have just kept them to themselves?
Revealing to me what I wish they did not
Entrust
To me
Surprising me with things I wish I could just

Forget; If
Only I could forget and just leave it for them to
Remember

Maybe they didn't want to be the only ones left with the
Emptiness of knowing

The things they wish they didn't know; The
Only ones that can't sleep at night

Knowing too well the
Excuses they have to want to
Escape this life,  the thoughts
Pressing deep into their souls
