Apple

How private is too private?
So much of me lives
on the outside with you
my thoughts and theories
and emotions where you
can touch them.
I know how to keep that
balance, giving you
all my best while
acknowledging my faults
and weaknesses.
But some things,
kept from you,
make me feel like an
apple with spots
on the inside,
going bad where you
can't see,
privately.
