Tell me a secret
that no one knows,
I’ll tell you one of mine.

Share a deed
that has been hid,
a crossing of the line.

Dig down deep
I’m sure there’s one
filed in your private Hell.

I keep mine buried
in my soul,
till He toll’s the bell.

So you think you’re special
or quite unique,
nothing’s new under the sun.

Actions, words,
look’s we hoped would kill,
or would have with a gun.

Do you remember when
out with your friends,
off came the wedding ring?

Or when in Vegas
you rolled the dice,
bud-da-boom then bud-da-bing?

Sharing my secrets
I must be ready,
entirely, I now know.

When pain of holding onto them
exceeds fears
of letting go.
