Hear my confession.
Let me speak of regret beyond measure.
Banish the darkness
and swift, pure agony
of anxieties unspoken.
Give me your eyes,
Your ears,
Your lips.
Write my name on your trusting heart,
seven letters scribed in tears.
Absolve.
Forgive.
Seek to forget.
Let us turn the page on this night
and seek out the sunshine
just beyond the horizon.
Can you feel it, my darling?
Can we hold it?
Or will our day slink off to its eternal end?
