Is it what you want it to be
is it the answer that you know is being held from you
or is it the thing that you hold
deepest to your heart
the thing that snuck ahead in line
cheated you with its tenacity
and its pervasive perverted hold
that you cannot unravel
around your heart
and when you get done holding
that shiny delicate simple heart
the one that shines like none before
the one you protect is the one thing that you set fire to
from the depths of your heart the demons come
and defense is your only guide as you search for what only you
can kill
the thing that only you created
spins at the center of your own universe
and it tempts you
it seduces and overcomes you
loves and needs to be
one with you
but unity
is not yours to give away
it is the one thing
that you must join
without regard
for what you give away
when there is nothing there
anyway
