the light of day

i know
but cannot say

   need
      but cannot ask

       what i dream
          inside my eyes

    what i crave
             inside my mind

the invincible yearning

       the wish that dies
   by miscarriage

    the proof that
   there is so much
   to believe in

       tangled together
   with gasping
          desire

that will
      never see
   the light of day.
