- - secrets

there used to be
secrets of the heart
and there used to be
ways to fall apart
that felt so good
it brought on addiction
and felt so safe
it defied prediction
as if fear had no control
over our world anymore
and whatever might come
we were ready for
eager and willing
and able to share
everything completely
with infinite care

there used to be
secrets of the mind
and there used to be
ways that we could find
to feel so good
it was like a magic spell
security
we could feel so well
as if fear had no power
over our lives any more
and whatever might come
we were ready for
eager and willing
and able to be
everything we wanted
alive and free

there used to be
was it make-believe?
was it childish faith?
were we self-deceived?
what happened to
the promises we made
the precious innocence
seems to have decayed

is this called aging?
is this growing up?
why are there poisons
in our drinking cups?
is this maturing?
is this old and wise?
why are we lonely
when we close our eyes?

when did we lose it?
our faith and our trust
our imagination
seems to have gone bust
when did we give up
believing in dreams
and wishing on stars
is hope as gone as it seems?

what happened to the secrets
that we used to trust
was the promise of friendship
beaten by our lust?
what became of the secrets
and where is the love?
relegated to
somewhere high above

there used to be
secrets we could share
what happened to the secrets
do you care?
what happened to the secrets
are you there?
when replace secrets
with fear
