Last Night In Bed

In bed, I confessed the most agonizing pain ever hidden I kept it for so many years whirling through my head and guised as laughter for all to see, but I couldn’t beam with pride at having not outperformed my weakness You were not asleep and I found a chance to spill it out from my chest to yours that I could put it to rest Soon, silence fell against our will, but I did understand a thing The pain has been released, shared for the very first time Ah, I never remembered how tearful I was last night and who cares? I don't, ‘cause... you were accenting, warm and a good listener rightly suits a troubled son

Ernesto ~ Someone close to you, will remember that you confided your deepest regret to them. This really isn't easy, if you are afraid the confession will destroy in part some of your now relationship! But being hurt or ashamed are all human values - not faults, as we are so willfully wanting to think! Good Job ~ hope you get better.
