Confession

A late night cry
A tug at her heart
A light shines brightly
Finding words to start.

Simply "I'm Sorry"
That's all she can say
Confused and befuddled
He begins questioning away.

For her past and her future
All she's done and yet to do
He laughs at her childishly
"I would still love you."

"I have a confession
I think you should know
Don't tell anyone
Nobody knows though."

I've tried before
I can't lie
"Recently?" he asks
"How many times?"

"October" she says
"Twice" she replies
He waits awhile
To him it's no surprise.

She sobs and cries
These thoughts are nothing new
"I need to go to sleep
Tomorrow will I see you?"

Another day awaiting
Fake it through another church session
"I honestly couldn't tell ya"
And she ends another confession.
