And the secrets sure drove her mad
But she carried them to her grave
Even as they haunted her soul
And ate at the corners of her peace
Even though they were the noose
Around her delicate throat
Even as she woke up screaming
Soundlessly to their whispers
Even though they scared her demons
Away till she wished them back
Even if she lost them in the day
In the night they’d find her again
And today she lies
In a little corner in a faraway land
And the secrets sure drove her mad
But she carried them to her grave.
