It’s Cyranny’s Word of the Day Challenge. Today’s word is “Nobody.”
From that first night
I wanted to keep you.
Then, in the dirty-light of day
it became clear:
you already had a home.
What nobody knew
(not even you!)
is that I kept you anyway
safely
in the tenderest place
of my heart.
Still.
The Abject Muse 
Oooo, lovely! This applies to so many, including me!
