A Dark Sun Day

Beneath mornings blanket 
shivering flesh 
covered in a forbidden secret
wrapped in seclusion 
hidden in the woods 
away from the city.

You cry to yourself 
praying to God you could laugh, but
the hurt weighs heavy 
way deeper than tears you carry.

So, morning has opened her eyes,
has kept many secrets,
yours is no different.
Peering through cracked blinds
she offers a forgiven smile.
She hears you breathing.
She knows you're there.
She knows remorse is your unwillingness 
to part with
your blanket
of conviction.
