Maybe you're afraid I'll find you out, completely, 
It may be I'll reject you totally, and whisper walk away.
Or more fearfully perhaps, that I'll choose to stay,
And analyse all I've found about you - scientifically...

as flaw found by flaw ground I start the dismantling, 
Shattering you into fright sized fragments,
scattering those now unencumbered segments,
as dust clouds lost to the storm approaching.

Yet it's there in the cast of the dark lightning,
I see you: in shadow and light I hear,
You, speak quiet calm over the thunder and fear, 
You call hope against the fell night reproaching.

And after this moment, you,
can never be known as mere black and white, you,
I thought mere shadow and light, you,
I now know, you, 
Are all the colours everlasting, you, 
I will never ignore.
