You can trust me.
To a point.

I will not judge you.
I will not share your secrets with anyone.
Anyone, except my informant.
My informant knows all.
My informant knows about your past,
Present
And presumed future.
My informant can ruin you
And me
And everyone else that has dared to trust me.
But do not worry.
My informant cannot speak
Or listen;
My informant can only read.
My informant cannot even write.
I write for my informant.
This is how we communicate.
You tell me your secrets,
And I write your secrets down.
My informant keeps them all safe.
You can trust me.
To a point.

I will not judge you.
I will not share your secrets with anyone.
Anyone, except my diary.

This was supposed to be a story. And now it is a poem. Deal with it.
