KEEPING SECRETS

I know what you mean

when you talk about the flashes

of strobes and rapid fire

blinding with feelings

you see... that day

I watched you from across the road

as I watched everyone else

while my soul took them all

searing bullet after bullet strobe

of images of chaos and confusion

my body she immobilized

for spending our time

was best a secret

the way she liked it I knew

and even now I try

to indulge her

but you know

that its too late for me

because with her

I already let myself loose
