Knowing

What is worse than knowing
and knowing it with all of your heart
and knowing that pride and circumstances are such
that you will never say it
and knowing that he knows it too
and that whether or not he wants to
he knows he can never say it
and knowing that if it is ever said
the door can never be closed
and nothing good would ever come of it
and knowing that it will hang there
just like that
always
