Secrets are the order of the day.
Some people keep them to ensure their plans don't get smudged by other fingers before completion. I can respect that.
Some people keep them because they're afraid of what will happen to others if they emerge from the shadows. I can understand that.
Some people keep them because they're afraid of showing themselves, lest they become naked then disappear, right before your eyes. I can forgive that.
Some people keep them because they simply enjoy the power of them, the intricate weaving and unspooling of lies, dodges, and expectations. I can..... no, I can't.
I have my own secrets. And I am a secret in the affairs of others. I'm hidden, hidden from, hidden for, lied to, lied about, lied in regards to, lied because of, I am the lie, the lies, the liar, the whispered threat.
Respect me. Understand me. Forgive me. Unless, of course... you can't.
