Why?

i ask not for forgiveness
for who are you  
to forgive i?
i write for reasons of access
why would i chose as i did
i hold none to blame but i
as it should be
as it is
one to be hurt
a catholic raised
her small son
and a good man
another is a daughter
one with much love
and a wife who cares
then there is their families
a spiraling pit of shame
that in the darkness
flesh is bare
her teeth biting the flesh
of my lips
her nails i worry to leave their tracks
and again i ask why?
i could buy this and none would know
i did not seek this
nor would i have
why do i write this
maybe one can learn the secret i miss
the reason why
