i am digesting bit by bit
Each word, each touch
Each look. If I never give
Of myself what right do
I have of expecting you
To stay still. I've known
What you wanted all this
Time but fears and shame
have kept
Me apart. I am not sure
Why when you intuitively
Know me - you once said
Like me you don't have
Many friends and I scoffed
At the idea - i have friends
I lied by omission - truth is
I don't - I don't because i am
Afraid of anyone knowing
Me except in binary code
Perhaps we all hide
Behind the 1s and the 0s
That way we can survive
For one more day
