Everything Is Illuminated
So much of you is a mystery to me.
So many puzzles
and unexplored corners
I listen to your music
and though it tells me
something of you
it leaves unanswered
entire new questions
what
or
who
put fear in your eyes
and why?
you tell me you often feel
inadequate
and that hurts me
So much of you is a mystery to me
and I try to tell you
of myself
that I not be
a mystery
to you
why
are you afraid to reach out
and take what I offer?
are you afraid
I will add
to the pain?
do you fear
I will add to the fear
in your eyes?
