you know what hurt
i finally came clean
i told people
i scraped it off my chest
like old sfx makeup
and it fell in clumps
in front of all your faces
and you did nothing
and i didn't ask you to
but could it hurt to just say something
anything
because now you know
and i never wanted you to
but i pulled open these stitches
to show you
to try and turn on the light
and you all just stood there
under the fluorescents
and did nothing
and then i learned that some secrets
while worth having
are not worth letting exist
to anyone beyond the walls
you've built inside your watermelon skull
