Évier

if secrets could be captured,
they’d roll right of your tongue,
and run down the drain;
begging to tell me what you heard. 
and maybe it’s a funny thing, 
because nothing in life matters,
but id sooner die 
then let you hurt her.

    I'm glad I took French :)
    I love the metaphor of a sink draining water/secrets, and I love how efficiently you were able to capture a whole story.
    But I'm kind of confused by how the different subjects you talk about relate to one another. How does the first line relate to the next two and those relate to the fourth and that relate to the last four lines?

    This is about a situation in my life where someone who is an adult and in my family pushing someone i love to having an eating disorder by verbal abuse. It’s about how i don’t really care about much in life but how someone hurt one of the only things i do care about and how i’d rather die than let that happen.
