I Didn't Know

I knew that I was weak

I knew that you were strong

I did not dare to kneel

Where I did not belong

And if I meant to touch

Your beauty with my hand

Then come the boils and blood

Which I would understand

You tore your knees apart

The loneliness revealed

That drew this unborn heart

From chains that would not yield

But weakened by your exercise

You fell against my soul

The stricken soul the mind denies

Until you make it whole

So I can love your beauty now

Though seeming from afar

Until my neutral world allow

How intimate you are

Sometimes it gets so lonely

I don't know what to do

I'd trade my stash of boredom

For a little hit of you

I didn't know

I didn't know

I didn't know

How much you needed me
