Keep
Will you keep this to yourself?
Or will I have to keep this to myself?
I’ve learnt to keep a lot of things to myself
Convinced it was detrimental for my health
Because your judgement is not needed
Don’t want your eyes piercing, on my bleeding
Heart.
Ones I’ve opened up to
I’ve pushed you away
How dare you get to know me like that!
You’ll just get in the way...
...Of my pity and sorrow
All this love that I’ve borrowed
Still hasn’t fulfilled me
Now a line of karmic relationships
Doom over me
The price is too high
But I can’t keep this
Guidance or guidelines
No, I’m trying to do this
Myself.
Trust or be trusted
I’m not really feeling
This emptiness is wasting me
Forget how I’m feeling
But I’m o-so hungry
For love and friendship
Nothing else will do for me
I’m so alone. Scared. Confused.
The only one who can change this
Is you.
Forget I said anything
I’ll keep it to myself
Wait, you want to hear me out?
Well, alright– okay.
Can you keep this to yourself?
