I told you a secret,
you listened and swore;
I said I was done,
but you wanted more.

I told you my deeds,
and my regrets, but why?
You said you would keep them,
but it was a lie.

I thought I could trust you,
but it was a joke;
my reputation killed,
gone up in smoke.

totally...anyone who exclaims they keep secrets really good is not to be trusted. anyone that tells you anyone elses secrets is not to be trusted. if they didn't keep that person's secrets, why would they ever keep yours?
