The Words are Troubling

The words are troubling 
A bit skittish
Becoming leery of each other
Wondering
“if those two get together”
“oh the implications”
“do they know what they’re saying”

The words seek
The gray areas of
Duplicitous doubt’s
Tactful treachery

The truth
Their scarred hostage
Reading a confession
It did not write

Wow, this poem is cool. It sounds like the poet and the poem are somewhat independent, each having their own minds'.
