In the Darkness

In the darkness

Where your insecurities

Are harder to discern

I am blind

To your disguises

My fingers

Read your weaknesses

In Braille

Cover to cover

Touching every flaw

With the reverence

A lifetime of war stories

Told in flesh

Deserves

I bear witness

To your past sins

Even as we backslide

Into each others secrets

And pull the covers

Over us

To hide what we

Will never forget

Entwined in quiet

Understanding
