Do you want to know…

why I'm sometimes so scared
skin shivering under your hand
each touch's prohibited

Do you want to know…

what's going on
when tears can't be stopped
and all doors've been slamed

Do you really want to know…

why I seem so far at times
inaccessible thoughts
your understandment's failing

Would you like to know…

these ghosts I'm fighting with
the mood darkening too fast
kind of intimate thunder-storm

Do you honestly want to know?
so…why don't you simply ask?
