My Face Cannot Keep Secrets

My face cannot keep secrets
I'm practically an open book
My lines the words
That tell my story

My friends say they always know what I'm thinking

When I'm confused they see the gears in my head turning

When I'm angry you can see the steam coming out my ears

It's not really there but it almost can be seen

When I'm sad my face is as blue as my eyes

And I fear it will soon get me in trouble

For I've met a stranger, of course, they're not as much anymore

But I fear fallen for them
Even though I know it is forbidden

But since my face can't keep a secret
I cannot keep them hidden

I greet them with a smile, a smile reserved for only them

My voice up an octave
And my laugh becomes a giggle

They're smart, kind and passionate

Their voice is rich and smooth like fresh brewed coffee

Capturing my attention
At the mention of their name

And I know, it's not possible
This thing that I've created

This silly schoolgirl crush of mine

But I simply can't explain it
And I feel it's best just stated

My face cannot keep secrets
And this is why I hate it
