it is here
within these two words
where the ruins
of your secret thoughts
lay abandoned
just like the little girl
you once were.
cameras banned
writers won't write it
no canvas to capture it
the love you can't utter
the loneliest place on earth ...
must reside in you.

"i know..."
The hollowest response to "I love you" that I could ever imagine.
A vast wasteland of nothingness between two planets, one burning bright and hot, the other dim and cool.
All the pain of a little girl must just keep replicating itself into infinity.
But...perhaps "I know" was the most truthful response that person will ever get in response to his confession of "I love you." Others may say "I love you, too," but do they really mean it?
"I know..." at least she really meant that.
