perhaps

today i found a secret door
i did not open it
 
some things should remain hidden
but not all things
 
i wanted to whisper all my secrets
Into your ear
 
you kept turning your head
turning my secrets into kisses
 
or perhaps i turned our kisses
into secrets
 
or (perhaps) the door should remain closed
or (perhaps) i still want to open it
 
or (perhaps) i’m tired of secrets
or (perhaps) i’ve grown hard of hearing
 
i keep running into doors
and never through them
 
i have the bruises as witnesses
they speak to me at night
 
until all i can think of is your mouth
the way you say my name
