I Told Her A SecretAnd SheTold MeHer Own

I told her a secret

And she told me her your own


I told her my secrets

The darkest of them all

The ones that make your skin crawl

I told her everything

Everything indeed

And she replied with a smile

That’s a first at least


I was anxious really

No terrified

To tell her at all

I told her it was horrid

And she still loves me


She told me in soothing words

Don’t worry

No matter what it is I’ll still love you

She told me she wasn’t going

Anywhere that she’d stay

That she loved me all the same


So I told her a secret

And she told me her own


I don’t understand

No one ever stays with such a burden of words

A concoction of a permanent stain

Left on a brain of someone insane


I told her a secret

I was afraid to tell her

She told me she’d stay

And she did just that

I don’t have to figure it out on my own


I don’t get it though

I really don’t

Most people who know my secrets

Leave so soon


I like the way I am

I don’t want to change

I’m falling further into insanity

And I don’t mind one bit

Neither does she

And I’m sticking with it

I’m sticking with her

Because shes the same as me


Because I told her a secret

And she told me her own

That maybe

Just maybe

Shes just as crazy

As me
