Ergo, the Ogre

What Nobody Knew

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.

Ergo, the Ogre

      I think we do. Not everyone will admit it though. Thank you, Peter.
