She’s a vault of whispers, a guardian of lies,
A keeper of secrets with shadowed eyes.
Each secret she holds, a burden, a chain,
A weight on her heart, a source of pain.
The words left unspoken, a silent scream,
Haunting her nights, invading her dreams.
She guards them closely, their truths untold,
A dragon protecting a hoard of gold.
But secrets fester, their poison seeps,
Corrupting the soul, disturbing her sleep.
She longs to release them, to let them go,
But fears the chaos they might bestow.
One day she whispers them into the wind,
Letting the burdened air rescind.
Her heart feels lighter, her soul renewed,
A keeper no longer, her life imbued.
