You wished it wasn’t
But you knew it was too late
To take back what you said
In better times,
Not wrought with fear (of self doubt)
Or that the secrets you carried
Would crush you
Their weight was more than you could bear
You blamed yourself
For things you can’t control
And you knew nothing
Could change this
Nothing could change
Do you remember
When you swore you’d let go?
You never let go.
