Secrets
A poem to my mother who denies the truth
Secrets
A poem to my mother who denies the truth
Is your plan to take all of them with you
and leave us in this heart ache and pain?
Is your need to keep all of them hidden
because you think its on you we'll place blame?
Are the scenes you keep locked far away
just too evil that terror has gripped you?
Does it wrap its cold hands 'round your throat and
demand that the truth of the past will not leave you?
Do you lie awake at night and stare out of your window
and hope I'll find more on my own?
Or do you sleep soundly knowing that as long as
you fight I can't demand for the truth to be known?
As time passes by and you swear it's a lie--
do you think I'll forget or move on?
For I can't---don't you see? For the secrets help me
in the healing that I need to be strong.
