some secrets aren't worth knowing (poem)

you want to know it all
peering eyes watch my every move
an obsession I've hidden away from
why do you even care?
this isn't your cross to bear

you want the secrets I hold
as if they're mine to share
I'm just another hiding place
why won't you just give up?
some doors aren't meant to open

you'll regret coming here
curiosity swallows the innocent
piece by piece you'll rip apart
how do you think I got here?

after years apart (poem)

my fingers tap nervously
not too loudly though
a murmur in the night
to match the pounding of my heart
time contextualizes my inadequacy
days become months then years
but every minute makes it worse

sleepless wandering leads me back
a school with an endless hallway
the fields we wandered together
but I always return alone
only ghosts to keep me company
faded figures in the windows
gone by morning

-Zero
