Under My Fingers Janet Kuypers (01/24;/12) I know I trusted you with all my secrets and I know you’d never betray me but I’m sorry I grew tired of feeling you under my fingers you were rough I knew that maybe that’s because you were my sounding board you were the only one that was always there for me when I was at my lowest but you see, I shared all my secrets with you because I wanted to bury those memories so I hope you understand why I had to let you go   (this is a poem about a diary)
