I know I shouldn’t

I now I mustn’t

Yet, still I do

The fulfilling sin.

I hide in shadows,

Looking beyond.

No one knows,

But I.

I may appear

Bored

But I am not,

And I do know.

Secrets are secrets,

Are they not?

They aren’t

For I know them all.

I seem silly,

I’m quiet and meek.

Everything I do

Goes unknown.

I hear many

A tale

Than none heard

But I and them.

They know not

An extra ear.

They know nothing

But them.

I’m here to stay

And here in dark.

Nothing miss my ears,

All tellers beware.

I’m the one who knows,

And chuckles at bits.

My name?

Eavesdropper or am I not?
