Skeletons

My honor I placed
On a sepulcher
A gift unto myself

I plunged a knife
Into it's heart
With betrayal
And excuses

Now -
Its death is
A dark shadow
Covering
My shame

Well written. That's a real fancy confession. A bad man borne. Going to my faves. Nice guys finish last, anyway. Welcome to the club, bro.
