how weak am I

how weak am I
watching you desire
this avid soul,
this seductive force
who’s brazenly entered my safe house

how weak am I
not confronting you
with the pain I found
in search of the truth
..
two bleeding hearts
two shattered souls

how weak am I
for not wanting to understand
that desire cannot be contained
but by the seekers
here am I
un voyeur involontair
left at the mercy of time

how weak am I
afraid you’ll despise me
for I learned
all that you don’t want me to know
would you permit me to love
everything you are not
in the presence of me

how weak am I
still loving you under your hubris mask
I give me
surrendering to time’s mercy
awaiting the day
the mirrors in my safe house
reflect the better part of us.

Welcome to Pip, dear Mira.

This is a captivating and significant first entry. When we become aware of our weakness, we become able to react.

Love,
Margherita
