Standing outside wrapped
up against the cold
trying to make sense of
what you’ve been told.
You breathe out a misty
cloud while a feeling inside
wants to scream out loud.
You think better of it and
decide you need to walk,
now is not the time that
you are ready to talk.
A thousand thoughts
are crossing your mind
but none to prevent you
from feeling maligned.
What you have heard
came out of the blue
and now you’re wondering
who else knew.
What was going on
behind your back
that you could not see
your life was about to
fall off the tracks.
You take a deep breath
and turn on your heels,
it’s time someone else
knows how you feel.

Sounds like someone who may have been living a double life.
Secrets keep us sick.
I know it has me thinking what’s going on here? 🤔
Great writing!
