The Things Not Worth Sharing

from The Strigil by Inny

lyrics

A gloved hand signals in distress
as the season drains
clogged with leaves
there is no response
indifference negates
emergency
just like we've
become cold and estranged.
an unfamiliar looking
to you for a second chance.

Splitting lids, an open maw stretched,
fuming, all but broken
paid you off, vanished in the morning
feeling tense and eager
Never thought I'd sleep this close to my enemy
Swept behind a wall of your dark fortress
I was never safe.

(the stitches come loose
my cover was thin and now blown
barely breathing in the face of fear
sore and exposed)

The roof caved in from the weight
Their hounds have picked up a trace.

There are things the human heart endures
not worth sharing.
When you're flailing, swept out in the waves,
there's no pulling you in, pulling you in.
Forced to put some distance in the space,
shaped like your shame.
When they see you wrecked, in disarray,
they turn cold and go.

Isn't anything they haven't known.
It's not worth sharing.
