Secret

I trusted you with a secret,
That brought me horror and shame,
I trusted you possibly too soon,
But I trusted you the same.

The first thing to be done though, was you gave that information away,
To someone undeserving, like my faith in you was a game.
It hurts to be betrayed, and I cannot shake the feeling,
It aches to look back, and I cannot see me healing.

How can you break a promise, one of the first I made you keep?
How could you spread a story that most would aim to seek?
This information is my own and I keep it locked up tight,
I know that you didn't think much of it, but what you did just wasn't right.

It hurts to think that all that time, all those months ago,
I thought you knew how to close your mouth, and then my trust did grow,
I told you things about me, that I'd never tell a soul,
I told things about myself, thinking you had a heart of gold.

Even if not meaning to, I still taste your deceit,
Even if you slipped up, you still made me weep,
For this foundation is what ensured our love grew,
Now I cannot figure out, this person I thought I knew

So when you spill a secret, unlock it with a key,
Remember all the pain broken trust caused me,
I now hesitate to tell you, things I'd never ever repeat,
I now stumble on my words, my heart an irregular beat.

For what I gave you that day, was half of my soul and heart,
What I gave you that day, has now fallen apart,
I don't want to tell you things, and I know it seems absurd,
But words are words that cause grief, now they're riddled with such hurt.
