Taken Away

In the darkness of the night,
I hear the cold wind blow,
Then I ask for forgiveness,
But it seems to be going slow,

You told my secret,
Yet another person, I cannot now trust,
My foolishness turns to regret,
As I know it must,

With a simple word, I fell,
My life could be over, all in one day,
For the person who heard will tell,
And I’ll be taken away.
