she is light
an ivory flower hidden
in a golden hall
jolting my heart
stealing my breath causing
me to play
the mute fool

I am shadow
breaking y-hearts with
secrets & omitted details
with wishes of hearts
worn plainly on sleeves
should I show the world
my true colors
a little black triangle

tell me

is it my responsibility
to define
to announce
to come out
to speak of

this?
