My Heart's Confession

Put upon the stand
I swore to speak the truth
My very first court session
With this session, I began my confession

A hundred eyes were focused on me
My eyes avoided only yours
Shame turned to feelings of aggression.
Feelings of aggression, this is my confession

The room was silent, everybody listened
As I began to tell my tale
I spoke of my heart’s regression
Feelings of regression, this is my confession

In tears I called your name
I just wanted you to feel the same
I craved you, my secret obsession
Feelings of obsession, this is my confession

Heartlessly they took me away
The charge: loving you after love’s decay
As you left, unmoved I learnt love’s lesson
Love’s lesson: I shouldn’t have shared my heart’s confession.
