Reveal

If I sat here and revealed
...revealed this truth...

...then shall you deny me...
for now you sit before me...
with concealed...fate

...only a mad man will attempt
an excuse...

...my breath held in abate...

...your heart full of torment...
...self appointed...
...self governing sorrow...

...the sun shall not rise
on your tomorrow...

...for you deny your spirit
freedom...caught in your...
mad mans mind...

forgiveness but a sole
glance away...

your tortured soul
...lost in time...

...this pride you  speak...
has you yourself defined...

...the truth a request from
a trusted friend...

this loyalty shattered...
for this I condemn...
