Analysis of A ‘Sweet’ Confession
To confess is to surrender.
Your words of adoration are swords
Piercing my empty chamber with your confession.
Battling against myself in this war….
I am unarmed against your attacks
So I wander in the oblivion
The tranquility warms me, the silence is comfort, the isolation a refuge
The oblivion is safety
While you are the unknown
The unknown I fear.
Surrendering to an absent enemy is something that I can not bear. So here I am with armour in wait of your offence
