Fathom Me

You wept where my soul lay,
And I, ignorant in the rapture of bliss in revenge,
I kept silent
Did not.
Could not.
Fathom why.

You wept where my path crossed yours,
And I, ignorant in the delight of joy in punishment,
I kept silent.
Did not.
Could not
Fathom why.

You wept where my eyes gazed,
And I, ignorant in the facade of pretense in joy,
I kept silent.
Did not.
Could not.
Fathom why.

You wept where my words reached your ears,
And I, ignorant in the excitement of thrill in the future,
I kept silent.
Did not.
Could not.
Fathom why.

You wept, and I doubled up in gaiety.
For while you saw me, I saw you.
I saw you.

You see?
I kept silent
Because you could not.
I kept silent
Because you would not.
I kept silent.
Because you did not fathom why.
