I Don't Want To Know You

I Don't Want To Know You

A Poem by The Night Poet

As much as I want to
I don’t want to know you
As much as I want to
I don’t want to know you

I listen like a child
For your every word to guide me
To say what I must know
What I must know for my love to grow

For me is where you will always be
Your rapture burning deep inside of me
Filling the void left behind
By those, I knew that died

As much as I want to
I don’t want to know you
As much as I want to
I must be without you

When I kiss you goodbye
A midnight thunder will strike
As much as I want you
I must be without you

As much as I want to
I don’t want to know you
As much as I want you
I must be without you

At every turn on my journey
You appear like a rainbow over my rain
A shining star over my darkness
A sunset exploding brilliantly
Before it dies into the sea

As much as I want you
I must be without you
As much as I want to
I don’t want to know you

For me is where you'll always be
Your rapture burning deep inside of me
Filling the void left behind
By those, I knew that died

As much as I want to
I don’t want to know you
As much as I want you
I must be without you

As I look into your eyes, I see
An endless garden surrounding me
Filled with joy, love, and mystery

As much as I want to
I don’t want to know you
As much as I want you
I must be without you
 
Cause I’m sure that when I do
The anxious love I have for you
Like all the others, I knew
Will surely die
Will surely die
Will surely die

As much as I want to
I don’t want to know you
As much as I want you
I must be without you

Cause I’m sure that when I do
The anxious love I have for you
Like all the others, I knew
Will surely die
Will surely die
Will surely die
Will surely die
