The Things A Person Knows
Fire to the touch will singe
Burn, blister and peel
A flame will ravage as well as heat
We know, yet do not feel
A blade will cut and tear the flesh
Let drops of blood appear
The blade is smooth as candy
Yet we know we are to fear
A blizzard makes the heart beat quick
Mesmerized by dancing snows
We may watch from inside walls
Yet it’s power we all know
A fall from sky will cause a rush
Pounding, thrashing, through the head
With laws of gravity well instilled
Impact will render dead
These are things, we need not feel
Nor experience to know the pain
These are things a person knows
‘Tis why we all refrain
Then there is love, the myth, and legend
The unicorn of teenage reveries
Have you ever felt it’s warmth?
Please delve into your memories
No touch, no smell, no taste, no sight
Just sudden inner glow
You were the one, the day we met
These things a person knows
And so for you, I’d risk the pain
I’d take it all from you
To ease the burdens that mar the life
Is all I wish to do
I’d hold your hand, hug you near
Stay with you all the night
I’d chase all nightmares far away
Absorb all that may fright
Never shall I want another
As what we have still grows
It’s as sure as burning flame
These things, a person a knows.
