A Love for Dishonesty

February 15, 2015July 13, 2016 by David Azik In Poetry 2 Comments

You are my safety net.

A guilty pleasure I shouldn’t come back to . . .  but I’m attached to you.

I fall back on you when I can’t explain

or reach for you when I need to hide from others and myself.

You conceal my thoughts, my secrets and

you let me get away with my worst actions.

You’ve saved me several times, and you’ll continue to do so.

My dear white lie,

my dear sin,

without you life would be insurmountable

as honesty is a weight none of us should have to carry alone.

I love you,

but our relationship is a secret.

One I’ll always deny exists.
