You Close Your Eyes To Block The Light

oops
|
you close your eyes to block the light
ashamed
but your cheeks are flushed
breath shallow
rapture
if you didn’t know better you would admit to both
but the clever little cat
with soft gilded lies
will spend the day
without ever having to question night…
so you close your eyes to block the light
and your hands are shaking
trembling
fear and adrenaline
wrapped up in the need to believe
in something
have you nothing to hide,
pretty little angel with the devil’s own eyes?
no
merely nothing to hide behind
and the fear is just the conjuring spell
if you look vulnerable and repentant
perhaps they will think the sinner is spent
so you close your eyes to block the light
don’t pull scripture with me
those same eyes
have devoured
fed
and released
angel’s lips too swollen
how far away from yourself will you run
to come home
abandon pretense
if it weren’t for reputation where would you be?
without something to uphold
to sow and reap
would you give in?
no
you would take away
and close your eyes to block the light
can I touch you?
have I?
because I’ve reached so far, wondering
can your hair even tangle?
or am I pulling my fingers through nothing
waiting for something to catch
and convince me of your humanity
I just wanted you to know,
that sometimes
when my legs are water and I’ve swallowed my heart
when I’ve fought the battle and lost the fight
I close my eyes to block the light

"can I touch you?

..this is my favorite part of the poem. I'm not sure if I got the same meaning you intended, but I like the message I received.
Loved It,
