The Keeper

I am the keeper of your secrets;
lies of omission...
A duty put upon me,
without my permission...

I am the keeper of your secrets,
the sentinel of your soul.
A guardian of the darkness,
a filler of the holes...

I am the keeper of your secrets,
protector of the illusion.
I will honor you, and all you do
a comfortable collusion...

I am the keeper of your secrets,
in spite of my pain.
I protect our creation
as though it still remains...

I am the keeper of your regrets,
even after you've evolved without me.
I remain the one constant,
and you have no reason to doubt me...

I am the keeper of your secrets
to reveal means to let go...
to redefine my heart and mind,
and let the story be told...
