Secrets

I keep my secrets in ink
black so deep
they could never betray me

yet,
I'm afraid it's not enough
I add more secrets
crowd them together
till they become inseparably connected

there is danger here
touch one
you touch them all

they become my fatal flaw
one drop
enough to blacken a page
seeping to the edges
revealing too much

what was I thinking?
ink could never have hidden me
what else could
distill me into a word
