keep some things to yourself

gray0328

 

not everyone  

who holds your secrets  

knows how to  

cradle them gently  

 

some hands  

are not meant  

to touch your  

softest places  

 

even love  

is not guaranteed  

to understand  

all your wounds  

 

leave parts of  

yourself untouched  

like a flower  

that blooms privately  

 

it is not  

a betrayal to  

protect your petals
