Guilty secret

I have a guilty little secret

I habour things discreetly

within my mind so deeply

locked away, kept in a cage

a burning hot fiery rage

that comes from loss

that hurt so much

that burns to the touch

through the loss of love

that I use mindfulness to quell

while hidden with in a shell

of solitude and isolation

until I’ve healed the devastation

so nobody gets to see

how this loss affect me

for it’s a personal dealing of grief

that leaves me crying myself to sleep

in the darkening midnight hours

might guilty little secret cowers

within the shadows of my psyche.

      1. I guessed something similar from your avatar and poetry! The guilt alerted me that you were not of Tibetan origin … see my ‘guilty’ 🙂
