Dear father
I want to confess
I do covet a man
different than
the one by my side.
Dear father
in my utter bareness…
I don’t want to defraud
that one that was brought
here to my side.
Please let me stem the tide.
I’ve phoned with him more
than a million times.
Each time I knew it was wrong, but
Have I committed a crime?
Dear father
How can I come clean?
How can it feel so hoodwinked
when I start to think
of his face, and his smile
Dear father
What does love mean?
I want to atone
for what I have done
for quite a while…
