You may not know me
But I know you

A rush of feelings,
Thoughts, sensations,
And your words blaze a path
Through the void of concept

You spread out your soul
Delicately blanketing
The page with comforting down
Of safe places and true friends

And when you are torn away
Into the darkness, alone
Your despair reveals itself
Naked and true, uninhibited

And when you are set upon
By the ravages of life
You wield your words
With both hands, swinging

And I lie slain
In the wake
Of true eloquence
