Never have I ever
lied to you.
Never have I ever
held something back.
Never have I ever
left you in the dark.

The last thing I want
is to do
what I have never ever.
Yet I've done it.

The never ever.

It feels so
degrading
To keep this from you.
As if
I'm keeping it from myself.

Well maybe I am.

Maybe I don't want to face the truth
Because I'm afraid you'll turn your back on it.

On me.

Never have I ever
had that fear.

Never have I ever
had any fear at all.

Why
now?
