My Confidant

I feel so naked if we dare to meet
for secrets are an incense
unto my confidant.

But there is no point in asking for mercy
since it will result in some lecture
about a group of rules
that I can begin to remember.

Still, I quiver in my night
from knowing this journey of day
will mean sooner or later
my most cherished thoughts
shall be heard by this person.

Perhaps I would be brought to tears
if our meetings weren’t always
at my expense somehow,
but you see I was drafted
into their club without a way to escape,
now all I can do
is rejoice when I’m spared
sometime of spilling my guts.

Oh wretched soul I am
to have this person in my life
thank goodness
outside of April Fifteenth
our meets are only chance.
