Your Best kept Secret

I fall into my roll so easily,

So ultimately painless that I worry even myself,

But it doesn’t scare you,

Even though it should,

I’m quite,

Silently telling the world about us,

The us that does not really exist,

I fall into the roll,

Like an actress groomed all her life,

Only to play this one character,

Your best kept secret,

I act like I’m not bothered,

Because secrets don’t get to choose why they are kept from,

And I’m hidden from the world,

I stand proudly by your side,

While hidden in the shadows,

I hold your hand in confidence,

But never once dose my skin touch yours,

The phone rings,

I fall silent waiting,

Shhh I’m your best kept secret,

And I promise not to tell a soul,

Because I’m only your best kept secret.
