Unwritten

I want to uncover, slowly discover

The story beyond what you tell

Trace with my finger, letting it linger

Wet with ink, the truth smudges well

Get under your skin with these words you've written

That makes my pulse race, my blood flow

You bring me to life with these words that you write

Yet there's still so much I want to know

Lay down the pen, let's start again

Your poetry's not what I need

I see in your eyes, 1000 lives

Yet revealed in the words that I read.
