Redacted Valentine

Skillfully scribbled-over text
I struggle to unravel
What yesterday scrawled
 
But overnight redacted
Black ink on black ink
With the word daring dangling
 
From sleep still decipherable
I see what you’re doing dream
Erasing my footsteps home
 
Sometime in the night
I must have written down the code
In a few simple sentences
 
And then scratched them out
For a few moments the secret opened
On all I couldn’t bear to behold
