Sins Committed Lie Unspoken

Contributed by Ensis718 on Friday, 24th August 2012 @ 08:38:39 PM in AEST
Topic: MiscPoems

You asked me about my sins.

It was just a normal conversation
Between the two of us,
Something that doesn't usually happen
Because I actively ignore you.

But once the topic came up,
You wouldn't let it go.
So I spoke:

"I have sins. I just don't talk to you about them."

You deny that I have any,
That I was
"Your perfect little girl"
And would never do anything wrong.

How "Wrong" you were.

I deny your words,
Reply with hidden,
Desperate earnestness,
That you don't know everything
Because I never told you anything.

So you ask me:

"What 'sins' have you committed then?"

I falter,
Unwilling to tell you,
My mother,
What it is I've done wrong;
All the things I've done wrong.

To change the subject,
I instead intervene:

"Will you tell me your sins?"

You falter,
Unwilling to tell me,
Your daughter,
What it is you've done wrong;
All the things you've done wrong.

"That's what I thought."

Truly an immaculate display of honesty.
I really enjoyed the depth
of reality possed by this passage.
A difficult situation on both sides of the fence.
