Never Say Anything

I wish you knew -

No.

Really, I don’t want you

to know.

 

If only I could tell -

But if

I’m being honest,

telling is half

the problem.

 

Do you ever wonder -

Don’t tell me.

The idea of what

you might think

terrifies me.

 

I like to imagine…

Not that.

Mostly just

that I knew how to make you

understand

or how

to understand myself.
