Shrouded in mystery

revealed to only one

Seeking respite

from burdens

carried too long

 

Cautiously shared

relying on another

Anointing power

with faith

taken for granted

 

Received with respect

pledging to uphold

Accepting responsibility

despite weakness

in character

flawed from inception

 

Revealed via whispers

rippling in waves

Cascading betrayals

across boundaries

of friendship

damaged beyond repair

DAILY PROMPT

Locked and Sealed

Can you keep a secret? Have you ever — intentionally or not — spilled the beans (when you should’ve stayed quiet)?
