My First Confession

Bad decisions, my adventures

Some have faded,

Some I choose to keep,

The past is crowded

With quite a lot I'm not too proud of.

But I could never feel ashamed,

That someone helped me through the changes.

I've been tempted

I've been cradled

When I've needed someone

I've been careless

When I'm able

This won't be my first confession.

In my conscience, in my confusion

I'm much better,

Drifting off to sleep,

No more hurting,

But what's the pleasure not worth doing?

I'm paid up on this bill of goods

I've talked to you more than I should have.

My confession's just the truth

I can't afford to lose you now

I've got so many things I'd like to say

But I'm lost and I'm so afraid.
