You've always handled me with care,
With a gentle touch,

... For you knew I would break under the weight of my own shell I hide in

Such a tenderness I have never felt deserving of,
As I have always kept you in the dark,
Yet you stand, unwavering
Juxtapose to my shadows
The Yang to my Yin

My secrets veiled under curled lips,
Still you kiss me softly,
My lips parting
A murmuration of mystery escapes
Breathing life to a world gasping for gossip
Choking...
