My sister is leaving our place
for tonight.
So come home
to me.
Not to touch me,
but to let your
soul touch mine
just while it's dark.
No one to witness our
shared vulnerability.
I will not ask you to come,
yet I know you want to.
I know you want to see me.
So why can't you just
open up?
I've figured out your secret,
the disrespect
is a way for you
to pretend
you don't have feelings.
It's a way to push people away.
It's armor that's only holding you
down.
But I won't tolerate it
forever.
I'm not made
of stone.
