there's only one more chance at this (don't tell anyone that you love me)

|   a page from a very good book, paper found at the portland bins, thread, oil paint, water, bits and pieces, ink (14" x 14")

give up or let go.
there's only once more chance at this.
it will never find you again
once announced you'll never know a greater burden
keep it hidden and exposed to only you
live behind it all forever
burden. weight. lightness.
you'll believe everyone soon.
there is no greater alone than the very center of pain.
