She Can Never Understand

She can never understand
That words have meanings
Shapes
Souls too
 
For, upon a page
I lay bare
All you can see
Is all of me
 
She can never understand
The beauty of a word
How it touches me
In ways
She thinks are absurd
 
For, upon a page
I lay bare
All  you can see
Is all of me
 
She can never understand
The colours that flow
From my pen
She will never know
 
For, upon a page
I lay bare
All you can see
Is all of me
 
She can never understand
The places I go
So far
Beneath moon and star
 
For, upon a page
I lay bare
All you can see
Is all of me
 
She can never understand
Where I have been
Such beauty
Far,
I have travelled
In lands of richest green
 
For, upon a page
I lay bare
All you can see
Is all of me
