Most Naked, Most Treasured
I want you to...
Cry...
And I want you to cry...
Right before me...
Not alone...
Into the night...
Into your pillow...
But...
Into me...
I want you to...
Cry...
And to give your tears...
To me...
And I want you to cry...
Not at some mad meeting...
With some misfortune...
No...
I want you to cry...
Because...
I have hurt you...
And I want you to cry...
And to turn...
To me,
Your pain...
Because you can know...
I have not...sought...
To harm...
Myself...
Because you’ve seen me so happy
In my stride...
Asking...
The question...
Yet so sad...
To learn...
The answer...
I want you to...
Cry...
Out...
And don’t think I can’t see you...
Now...
Gazing down into despair...
Rather suck into the nothingness...
Than pay the ransom of...
One tear...
I want you to...
Cry...
And let me take you...a moment a man...
Into my arms...
Before...
Remoulding...
Human...
Into yours...
I want you to...
Cry...
I want you...
To trust me...
With...
Your pearls
