You ask me to listen, but refuse to talk.
You want me to understand, but won’t open yourself
out of fear of vulnerability, of being hurt.
So I must observe and interpret
to try and understand your why,
to see as you do, the reasons and emotions
behind the perceptions and choices you make.
Odin sacrificed an eye for wisdom;
I would tear out my heart for love
and to be enough for your trust.
