Enveloped by sadness when you hold my hand
Awash with fear that it will always be this way
Shame surrenders my thoughts to cowered confessions
Holding your gaze as instinctive words surprise my lips
Looking away as their real meaning rocks socket beds 

You see it, don't you?
You see it? Don't you?
You see it. Don't you! 
Don't. 

See it less
See me more
See me less 

Seem less
Are you crying?
No
