Darkest Secret
I'm still thinking,
About everything
You left me to deal with,
You dumped your problems
Onto me,
You told me not to tell anyone,
But I couldn't do it,
You told me you darkest secret
But it was too much,
To leave on my
Wimpy shoulders,
I cracked,
I fell,
I had to find a way out,
I hope you understand
I couldn't tell anyone,
Because you told me not to,
I trusted your friendship
And you trusted me,
But you need to know,
I stayed up
Every single night
Crying,
Because of this secret,
Because of your choice
I could've stopped you,
I tried,
But I failed,
And now you are,
Nowhere to be found,
And I know it's my fault,
I just can't help to think,
If you had told me
To talk about it
With somebody else,
Would this all be different?
Would you still be here?
And would I not feel
That it was me,
That it was my fault,
Because you told me,
You told me
Your darkest secret of all

I agree with ItsAshMal
this is a really good poem; I wouldnt know what this is like, unable to keep in a secret, but it's so realistic and detailed that I could imagine it happening.
really good job :)
The rambling nature of this seems to add to the confusion and despair of the author, pulling you in with her (or him?), which I really enjoyed. I love the stanza breaks, too, and all in all think this is a lovely poem.
One thing to watch out for is punctuation, and I also wonder if you could do something with the word "wimpy," which just seems a tad out of place.
