Not a formal confession

 Tell me your secret
The one you've kept hidden
release it, expose it's sordid core
let it burden you no more

The one that exists behind your face
A piece of you camouflage and in wait
Close to confession I see listeners turn away
But I am here all ears today

You can tell me for I cannot enjoy your shame
I can only enjoy your relief and your next chapter
Truth will change your world not trap you
Yet remain in silence if need be

Don't misplace the idea you had originally
Forgetting will not serve to protect you
Tell me your little secret give me a clue
It shouldn't live in your mind no rent due

You must not confess on wild emotion so unreal
Must not formally deliver and piously kneel
I am a simple man i will listen ears keen
Let those words until the heart if free
