dirty little secret

hidden in your non-thought
a shadow on your wall,
i dwell in the recess
of your head.
lurking behind your reason,
i wait for sleep to come,
and rise from the depths
of your dreams.
I am the name you cannot say
the face you cant reveal
the one you need the most
and see the least.
you wake in morning's half-light
and wash your sins away,
leaving your dirty little secret
to sleep.
