Quite So

There are things you hold
within your heart
complex and heavy,

you can’t let anyone close

Others may think this burden 

is typical and trivial,

and that is because you carry it so 

no one would know 

There is a tenderness quite vast

that lives within you,

that wants to cradle someone softly 

and close;

But there is nothing 

that would induce you

to admit how much they move you

because they do not care to know
