What you know

Only here will I speak
to you about
love, life and tears
that fall and break
like glass and ice.
And then there will be
silence so
deafening and deathly
like cold hands on hearts
and the last of breaths
that to define otherwise
would only put me to shame
but you - you will only hear
and see what bubbles up
to the surface and
you will play
the part of ignorance
until truths
come to light.
And then, only will I
speak about everything
you didn't know
and watch your face crumble
into tears and pain.
