The Secret



Hey you,can I tell you a secret.
Good because I trust you.
I have to get this off my chest.
Thank you for your sympathy;
you are truly my only friend.

Hey you,I haven't seen you in a blue moon.
I hope I didn't alarm you when we last spoke.
I have fixed my errors and wanted to chill.
Thanks for being there when I needed trust.

You haven't returned my calls in an age.
People are looking at me strange lately.
You didn't tell anyone about my mistake. Have you betrayed me, I sure hope not.

You stabbed me in the back for what gain.
To see me squirm;are you that vain?
You caused me heartache and deep pain.
I trusted you were the only one.
Nobody should have known what I had done.
I promise you this your time will come.
