​

I thought I might 

hold you tight 

forever.

 

I later understood 

that you might not would

neither now nor ever -

 

for an army of arguments

that I might consider frivolous

assuming I understood them.

 

They are your religion: 

altars on which you pray 

sanctuaries that you run to.

 

I seek no shelter.

I require no safe haven.

I fancy no foil.

 

Yet, I am as vulnerable 

as a lamb in spring

frail, confused, unknowing.

 

I want your journey to be mine 

but I knew not then, and I know not now

its destination, much less its design.
