I Love You (But You Will Never Know)

How blind is a flower?
How human a rose?
An infinite tower
of repose.

How deaf is an angel?
How distant a sky?
Just on the horizon
you fly.

I love you.
I love you
but you will never know.

How sharp is a sentence
when plated with lies?
How cruel a repentent
reprise?

How tainted a gesture
of faraway bliss?
How gilded a virtual
kiss?

I love you.
I love you
but you will never know.

How dark is a whisper
of infantile dreams?
As dark as a raincloud
it seems.

How silent a secret
elusive to find?
How blind is a flower?
Too blind.
