Unknown to You

I'd sooner have your soft hands gracefully tear my skin from itself like putty, than feel you touch me again.
I would rather you destroy my sight in a violently graceful form, then to look into your gorgeous eyes again.
I wish that you simply destroy my bones than break my heart with your beautiful smile.

Your kind heart befriended me not knowing it would obliterate mine.
Forbidden love I'd only ever dreamed of, still just a dream, but one I've deluded myself into thinking is real.
I could fill space with the words I want to say to you, to have your sweet ears hear my soliloquy, but then it wouldn't be.
Not a moth to a flame, but Tantalus to the water.
You would burn me if you knew,
You would never know.

Two ships who pass in the night, but only one yearns for the other. The other ship sees dozens in the night, more than the first could ever imagine.
 The first ship will never see another again, his heart as dark as the ocean floor.

You are beautiful. I can't tell if you know.
You would think me a Hermit, in part it's true but I am also the Fool, and my home is the Tower,
For I can't tell if you're the Sun, the Moon or the World itself.

I need to run out into a blizzard, to flee from you or towards you I cannot decipher.

I dreamed you would hold me when I escaped it.
I melted into you.
I became you.
But I am not you.

I cannot feel the warmth of your arms around me.
The thought of your lips could power me through the cold.
But I don't know their heat.
Please taste my blood on your lips.
I want you to know my body this way.
I want you to know me.
You can't know me.
