i knew you couldn't see my tears in the darkness
as we shared in expressing our committed love
and when you playfully asked of me how i was
too lonely, too distant to share my truth with you
i hid myself from you again as i shouldn't
surreptitiously wiped the moisture from my eyes
steadfastly set my effort on satisfying
the hunger you'd made so clear that you were feeling
i think that you desired mainly your own pleasure
not me. i'm certain you don't really quite want me
in my messy, emotional isolation
i'm too much work for you. i'm way too difficult
laden with layer upon layer of baggage
you love being with me except for all of that
and you have told me as much, using other words
i was determined that you get what you needed
regrouped when you let me know it wasn't working
was surprised that you could actually get there
satisfying you, making sure you had no cause
to speculate what on earth could be wrong with me
i gave myself to you as you wanted me to
not as i want to share my inner self with you
which i shared instead with the cold dark of the night
