You want closer?
You want deeper?
You want me to stop hiding?
I stopped hiding long ago
I cut myself open
So you could see
All the deepest parts of me
I poured myself out
So you could taste me
And know what flavors
Assemble me
But you withdraw
Distance yourself
Reinforce your walls
And ask me to
Know you.
I'm digging
And fighting
To reveal you
But I cannot force you
To unlock your doors
I cannot dig tunnels
Under your walls
I cannot chase you in circles
If you do not want to be caught
I did my part
I bled myself dry
Now it's your turn
Don't put me behind glass
And tell me it's my fault
That we lack a deeper connection
If you want something rooted
In truth
In love
You have to tell me who you are
