things better left untouched

you give me keyholes that I 
somehow always had keys for fit
and I find inside the boxes,
closets,
chests, rooms,
a million half-answered,
half-completed questions
mine or yours?

I realize I fear what I have
stumbled upon, I am 
afraid
to be just another 
along the line
afraid
to not be special enough
to stand out
afraid
to remind you of
the numerous 
stringless before-me's.

What if you look upon me
as our hearts entwine; as you grip
my hands so tight you don't 
want to let go
but forget the reasons why and
merely see
what used to satisfy you;
which isn't me.

afraid
to be just a satisfaction.
