And I Will Do the Same

You confess so very little

with so much still to tell,

It turns your tongue to brittle

as your lungs begin to swell.

The music in your fingers

sings a different kind of truth

and if my words still linger

some might find it uncouth

to dip and dabble in a dream

so real and yet so distant

that has me ripping at my seam:

so biting and so brilliant. 

It's real if it floats through our air

down to our blood and bones

and no one promised love was fair

just that it would be known.

I want to see what your eyes see.

I want to know your name.

So, keep your arms outstretched for me

and I will do the same.
