Tell me a secret she said
I unlocked my heart, searched my head—
What could I possibly hide beneath my blue-sheeted bed?
I eat my heart like bread,
Drink the tears I shed,
I never read anything new,
Only what I have already read.
Could that be the thread?
What I should not be doing instead?
I don’t understand my feelings;
I’ve always been misled.
Does that count as a secret?
I am blue—
Almost dead.
