What you don't know

Peering in vitrines,
coveting shiny displays

That all look magical,
perfect, untouchable

Seem to magnify your want
twee zing envy's curled worm

Vowing to forge a shared life
you set to find your heart's missing half

Oh, to be a speck of dust
to travel the underside of icons

To light the pain windows shield
 to taste the breaking brittle hate

To dress with sorrow's cloak
that knots nuptials' straitjacket arms

Then perhaps you'll find
your fantasy was blessed

Wanting what you cannot have
a present

To offer your compassion
your just reward

To love is
 to give up what you want to hold the most
