Mind your secrets my love
Each one weighs you down
A small leak in the bilge
It’s nothing
Until it’s something
..
Some like a dragging anchor
You stand watch
Lest you’re dashed upon the rocks
..
Each waits for the misstep
The drunken slip of the tongue
The friend that didn’t know
You weren’t supposed to be there
Caught unawares by the squall
You’re left stranded, desolate
..
Each one has a price my love
You’ll know it when the bill comes due
