Your Confessions

Written 10/6/14 about my ex

You let me feel guilty

the entire time

You knew the struggle

That went through my mind

You chose to stay

But you could have left

You let me suffer alone

with my emotional depth

You played all victim

I felt it unfair

to put you through that

But I know what you didn't share

We both hurt

But you took no blame

Letting me carry

A shoulder of shame

I'm trying to forgive you

The past is just that

But your confessions

Have left me flat

The important thing is

We are both now free

You can be you

And I can be me

And now it's come

That fateful day

When you're allowed to admit

Your ex-boyfriend is gay
