Dear Diary,

I sought your refuge yet again

Scrambled words, scurrying emotions

You entertain it all, lending patient ears.

Quivering words are liberated in your embrace

You safeguard my secret feelings

Promises lost in the ripples of yesterday

Are treasured by your compassionate pages

It’s you and only you, who can gauge my silence

Despite knowing my darkest secret, coddle my jaded soul

The unfulfilled promises still echo deep

The iniquitous gush of fire impaling within

Reigns over my crestfallen soul’s lacuna

The past is over, the future can wait.

Today, this moment as I stand soaked

Yet ignited, I confess

The darkness in me, seeks the light of acceptance from you

Sans judgement!
