I could show you nothing

like it was ever before

 

you’d be entitled 

to your skepticism

 

I’d show 

you more

 

taking you to the edge 

of comfortable

 

we’d peer over the ledge 

without letting go

 

I ask you how you’re feeling

your eyes start to glow

 

like an essay question

on speaker phone 

 

just because 

I’ve got you a bit sussed

 

doesn’t mean I wouldn’t 

love you all the more

 

I could show nothing was

ever like it was before
