Naked in my imperfection
A world of blame in those judging eyes.
You weren't supposed to know.
Cast adrift on seas of melancholy
self-pitying waves tossing
my helpless craft
to and fro.
I brace myself for a flood of guilt
Once more and maybe
my burden will be avenged.
If I apologize one more time,
will you hold me in your arms
and smile
and never blame again?
You are incapable of love.
