Unconfessed

I want to cry and yet stay strong,
"Crying" and "strong" are often treated as parallels.
Blocking the truth from surfacing is hard,
Paralysing it, to proceed further is wrong.

I am harrowed by my forlorn attempts,
To confess my sins to you.
So much is concealed beneath yesterday.
Only to make "the happily ever after" happen.

A string of attachment with you,
Is my only ray of hope.
Residues of my past will certainly petrify you,
Your judgement will bolster the darkness in me.

For me to be yours, truly yours.
Permit me to bury the gory past my love,
Fossils will become extinct with time.
Bear with me, I won't let you down,
Being a perfidious lover ain't my style.
