SECRETS

She

Was brushing her hair

Away from her face. 

Lengthening shadows

Were watching. 

Leaving

Secrets in their place. 

And I

Was falling down. 

And I

Will slowly drown. 

I

Was a secret view of Winter

Seen only as disgrace. 

Window panes

Held frosty stares

As forward to Spring

We raced. 

And she

Was falling down. 

And she

Will slowly drown. 

We

Will slow each other down.
