Sinister Situation


You say you have sympathy

or maybe it's empathy

Either way

I don't agree

Not to compare

situations

but you said it

yourself

mine is serious

You said it 

yourself

Someone needs to be told

But what you don't understand

is how that is going to

backfire

be counterproductive

ruin everything

Laws are laws

and morals and morals

but you can't make a decision

based off of 

one conversation

It takes time

All decisions take time

I should know

Two years later

So please

for me

who you've expressed

that you care about

Keep it 

confidential

and silent.
