it isn't right
the way you tease
much about and inside
me isn't right
and I believe you can
why,...You must
see right through
the downward destinations
inside Where I hide
exactly what is felt
And one heart is caught
is then this trap forgotten
the less than savory,
The nothing special
the ignorant laugh
And the wise understand
this cannot be easy
What is yet that may be
might bear much wrong beneath
Some beyond, buried, unlikely
your pieces are much less deep
These then are mine, my secrets,
My own unlikable qualities, proud moments
Terrible wants, disturbing fantasies
Awful enough that they must stay down
Down is where demons go,
But I think you've seen them
