Hide Yourself

My lurid confessions slip out past my tongue

Audible ghost of what I have done

I thought I was less foolish more full of logic and reason

Perhaps this is the turning leaf the changing of seasons

I never before made it well up past my skin

That’s least of what you expect of men

So I applied the bandage from beginning to the end

For don’t you know that honesty is a sin

very interesting, very enjoyable piece. almost haunting, the way you wrote it. thanks so much for sharing, it's an amazing write.

I love the rhyming-it makes the whole piece flow well.

My favorite line: "my lurid confessions slip out past my tongue"

I really liked this. The second line struck me especially, "audible ghost of what I have done" Nice job. :-)
