a woman's heart

a woman's heart is one of the greatest of mysteries 
through the ages 

an enigma, 
elusive & complex

the feminine 
knows some things are better left secret

and so...
burdens are carried, tears quiet
in private, 
she suffers

keeping my secret

my heart peeks out
hoping it is safe
only to be shoved back in

forcefully,
violently

don't u remember how she makes u feel, darlin?
