mutual blackmail society

Everybody's got
their own little story
that nobody needs

to know.

We know each other
far too well
to hint and guess
and intimate. I guess

we've reached a point
or two, to turn upon
- which way we'll go?

Well, let's not be
too hasty, yet. There's time
still left

to hesitate

Remember what we've lost,
along the way
to everything we know.

I don't know whose
would be the bigger shame
if it came out?

So let's be reasonable.
Let's not find out.
We like suspense. Let's
plant it deep,

and let it grow.
