A Treasure Map to My Secrets

You wish to know what I’m keeping close,

And I so dearly wish to tell,

But I’m not sure of your reply.

So, through every word I’ve spoken,

I leave a clue.

Perhaps it’s in the way I say your name, 

Or perhaps it’s not even the words.

Perhaps it’s in the way I look at you.

So if you truly wish to know

Then follow the clues, 

find the “x”.

And until that lovely day when you finally find

What burdens me so,

I’ll simply be drowning in my own thoughts.
