hiding
going deep with honesty
is a precious gift
no matter how often
our paths cross
hiding is not lying
but what you keep in the shadow
robs me of choice
what you leave out
does not protect my feelings
anything denying my agency
is a no to me
you diminish my trust
by not trusting me
with all of you
no matter how often
our paths cross
going deep with honesty
is the most precious gift
we can share
