'No dont ask me' you say  

and you cover your eyes  

'done' i say and pray  

i hide feelings i despise.   

for all your arguments, force  

i present a face where  

you try your best, your worst  

and we go on from there.    

your eyes, questioning, crawl  

over mine, deciphering my rules  

i unwrap and fold your shawl  

light with the wisdom of fools.
