Unaware you had a secret
Didn’t mean to share with us
Unconsciously you talked it up
Then left in such a rush.
Nervously you rambled
One word leading to another
You talked about your sister
Hardly mentioned your kid brother .
Connecting all the dots
We can read between the lines
We found the clues, there were a few
It didn’t take much time.
A dirty little secret
Had been swept under the rug
Hardly worth concealing
His kid brother had done drugs.
Nothing heavy duty
He had smoked a little pot
Is this really all that serious?
Is this really …. all you’ve got?
Should we stop intruding?
Stop getting so involved?
Maybe, but it feels so good
When the mystery is solved.
