Tell me...

I am curious,
tell me everything about thee,
an open book I am, you may say
I wonder, even an open book has shallow words,
spilled rather carelessly, or done willfully
I will never know, for you are the master of your secrets
I am curious,
to know the real thee,
who are we really without these secrets?
a bunch of lies?
you may ask the whys and wherefores 
or even dismiss my quest, none of my business you see
business is what I bleed at!
after devouring everything that you have said,
I still look beseechingly at thee,
like I am gazing into the infinity of secrets,
just to be free from the quest!
Inversely, I sense you fighting too
covering every chink in your armour
to say nothing or to bare it all
captivating they are,
food for the soul too,
you might even take them to your grave!
I may say as I please, in fact, you are brave!
yet, I beseech you, tell me your secrets
I am curious
It is because I care, I will consider and cover!
I can play with the words, 
but truth be told,
I am just curious
you look invincible, as hard as baked clay!
and deceivingly miserable, I lay
tell me you hurt too,
you are curious too, aren't you?
Solitude is overrated,
let's break the chain and,
talk our hearts out!
I see you drifting away, calling out 
a peeping tom is what you see!
free me from this quest,

for I am just curious...
