confess

when someone sets out to defend you,
you give him your full support.

you tell him "the truth,
the whole truth,
and nothing but the truth."
yes, just like making a sworn testimony.

giving him incomplete or false information
could lead him to charge on
when he actually should be retreating.
it could lead him to pry information
you've long been wanting to suppress.

the intention was to help.
the outcome is to hurt.

when the dust settles,
he'd be wounded and bruised
but the casualty really is going to be you.
boo!
