Scarab

the day i met you
i’ve only ever wanted,
needed, was
you.
the real you.
i know you’ve spent years
suppressing your wonderful heart
and your beautiful mind
because the blind and the unfeeling
told you so.
that you were far too much woman.
but not i.
do not silence your heart
with me
for it speaks to me
in ways
we have yet to understand.
