cathartic

I 
Want to
Be engulfed
By the ending
Of this unknown tale;
To never know how it
Will play out, I'll live in bliss. 
Trembling, I still patiently crave
What is neither saddening nor pleasing;
It is cathartic, and overwhelming. 
Take the strands given to you; tightly,
Weave and tie that heart together.
Don't tell a lie until I
Can understand the truth,
And embrace the tale
Who's ending will
Never be
Told to
Me.
