The Burden of Secrets

Beneath the cloak of midnight’s veil,
Where whispers weave and shadows sail,
A secret stirs, a hidden lie—
A fragile thing that cannot die.

The walls that guard it, worn and thin,
Are cracking from the weight within.
Though buried deep, it strains to rise,
For truth, in darkness, never lies.

A glance too long, a word misplaced,
A tremor that betrays the face—
These cracks, they widen, sharp as blades,
And cut the heart in whispered shades.
