NOW I KNOW

Now I know how much you hid and kept silent about.
That was your shell.
But why have you hidden yourself so well from me?
The thought grinds still.

I know. I remember: one single case,
where judgement was mine to wield -
and then your inner world's enchanted land
was forever concealed.

As long as our love has one chance left,
if even only one,
that long will our love be a closed hand -
and to us justice be done.
