Unburden Mee

Unburden me

From thoughts of you

Even

(Especially?)

Those

Lurking on my

Periphery

You hid from me

When all I wanted 

Was to see you

When everything I wanted

Was to love you

You hid from me

Then lied to me

Afraid of what 

I would see

Buried there

In your uncombed psyche

But you lied to me

And now

That’s all I may ever see

You could have

Just opened up

I know how to hold

The darkness of truth

I know how to walk

Over knotted roots

I know how to love

The unlovable

All you had to do

Was show me

All you had to do 

Was trust me

I left thinking

I wasn’t enough

But

In retrospect

Perhaps

I was too much
