A radiance touches your skin
and I can read everything now
as simple as words on a page,
I was missing the point.
Seeking to mine answers from
that which shouldn’t be understood.
I could’ve broken you to know more,
trespassed through the sacred,
pressed far beyond the threshold
to see what you really waited for.
But it never went that far.
Your fingertip met my lip
and sealed the entirety of a world
to keep it from gracelessly spilling.
You could’ve broken me to know more,
shadowboxed with a heart that couldn’t
be crushed with your hands
to see what I was giving myself for.
But it never went that far.
Seeking to hold onto answers to
what you could never ask of me.
Do you understand me now?
Do you see what I need?
How long will you remain inside before
gleaning what you need from me?
I think I finally know.
