Read It And Weep

you desperately wanted
to hold a story of me.
But my love,
i am more than just a poem.

i am a novel.

i am all the things your eyes
simply skim over,
but fail to read.
i am depth, i am vibration,
i am the voice you long to hear.
and you will only realize my truths
after you've put out my fire for you.
