Beyond Two

We all ache to know light
still we draw into darkness,
discordant bookends
never turning face to face.

Comfort of a borrowed heart,
brief moments of nirvana
recalled as we sadly withdraw
and turn away to sleep.

Herculean in soft repose,
watching grace fall from afar,
end of the line for dignity,
so I love you even more.

That you show vulnerability
when emotions are best hidden,
demonstrating your faith,
a sign of true substance.

Beyond all rationale thinking,
still drawn to someone or something,
inaccessible, just out of contact
beyond the number two.
