"Facades"

The secrets you don’t share,

I see.

I know them in the depths

Of me.

The lies that leave your lips

Fall dead,

For I can hear more than

You said.

My heart may recoil from

The fear

That petrifies and makes

Unclear

Feelings that were always

There.

I do not question why

I care.

I may not understand

This now,

But deeper purpose is,

Somehow.

And I know that if never

Time

Reveals the truth of heart

And mind,

I’ll always be grateful

For this.

I’ll never regret what

I’ve missed.

In saving all my heart

For you.

I’m reserved ‘til facades

Are through.
