What do I say
Should I be honest
or
just cling desperately to him
even though he doesn't care
time
tells the secret
I can only hide
wait
all those before me I watch
for they who have
"come out"
death
for me a lifetime of
fear
holding on to him
he draws the fine white
line
between gay and straight
For me I don't know
the right time to
let go
release these feelings
await the verdict
create a subconscious
suicide
