You'll Never Know

you touch me like a candle,

burning with sweet, tender, mercy,

as unseen worlds and non-existent walls,

rise up, only to crumble back

into the dark, angry ground;

but you’ll never know,

you’ll never know;

like an unobtainable dream,

you flutter into the room,

unapproachable,

unrehearsed,

fresh from the kill,

hot on the trail,

one more from the road,

your face the face of humanity,

your expression all that there is;

I feel your fingertips,

breathe your aroma,

taste your skin,

imagine the unimaginable,

you’ll never know,

never know;

you ride upon a high horse,

in distant places with no name,

frustrated fires burning within,

innocent guilt replaces

moments of madness,

lost inside the maelstrom

with no way home;

rest easy my darling,

soon it will be done,

soon enough it will be finished,

you’ll never know,

never know;

we scream into the wind,

searching for worlds

that do not exist,

running from the impending darkness,

unable to change,

unable to exist,

unable to love,

frustrated little gophers,

scrambling from one hole

to another,

waiting for evening meals,

complete with nighttime

love-making dreams,

tucked safely in lairs of

complacent apathy,

we are nothing

but dissolving shit,

bubbling and fizzing

our way into nooks and crannies

of indelible majesty,

where only echoes may be heard,

complete with one-way dreams

of suburbia bliss,

surrounded by walls of

utopian opulence;

innocent pawn,

rest your beautiful head

here in grieving arms,

sweet daughter of the night,

sister of the moon,

the morning sun does approach,

bringing forth its saving light,

and it is here that you belong,

where you shall shine,

like the jewel you truly are;

you will know my love,

you will know.
