Secrecy.

Tell me the secret.
It is always on your mind.
Divulge it to me.

I can't guarantee
That I'll lecture or listen.
I'm ready to catch.

That weight on your chest,
The sigh in your heart - silence.
Awaken it now.

It rakes within you,
Clenching your bowels, slashing
Your supple pink lungs.

Let it tremble free.
Wracking your body with sobs,
Battering your soul,

Let it burst into
oblivion. Release it -
And let me hold you.

The you, newly cleansed
Of this wretched plague - this famed,
Self-loathing evil.
