these revelations may not
be the captain of our ship;
we may have to sink
in order to rise.
you're trying too hard
to be perfect for me.
let the lightning of
your fears shatter you,
just for a moment
while i learn how to
hold you in the notion
that dark may rest
furtively
somewhere deep within
our souls.
please, won't you
(turn off the light)
