A ‘Sweet’ Confession

Sabreen Abdule

April 24 
Free verse
To confess is to surrender.
Your words of adoration are swords
Piercing my empty chamber with your confession.
Battling against myself in this war….
I am unarmed against your attacks
So I wander in the oblivion
The tranquility warms me, the silence is comfort, the isolation a refuge
The oblivion is safety
While you are the unknown
The unknown I fear.

Surrendering to an absent enemy is something that I can not bear. So here I am with armour in wait of your offence
