You don't know
That I go to bed with crystal tears in my eyes
They glisten in the feeble light of the moon
I am crying silently in fear
Fear of torment and death
Fear of those that I hold dear.
You don't know
That I wring my hands under the table from nervousness
Folding my fingers and squeezing hard
Butterflies smashing into the walls of my stomach
You don't know because I smile at you and
Pretend I am not scared stiff
You don't know
That I have fantasies
Floating into the clouds of purple and gold
Singing and writing poetry
In my mind. Loving.
Magical.
You don't know so much about me. Yet you do
I know you can see
When you look into my eyes, you can see my happiness and pain.
My joys and sorrows.
You don't know, yet you do.
