You Don't Know Me

You don't know me

You don't know that the splendor
of a second can outlive the conformity
of a lifetime

You don't know me

You may know of sadness and grace
but you confuse me with yourself
projecting your mind into the mirror
of my soul

You don't know me

You don't know the agility
of desire's dance
to shock you into seeing
what it is you never needed
