The conflict


Come be my mother, my lover, my friend. In this our secret world, we do not have to follow the rules, nor contend with disappointment. Here I can feed my endless longing, my insatiable hunger to consummate the boundless bonds with you.

Do not ask my true name. In this our secret world, I cannot bear its resonance, nor the piercing gaze of your eyes. Here it is required that if you ever search for my image, it must only be in a reflection. The moment you look at me directly, I will fall away like Eurydice, inconsolable and alone among the shadows.

I still can't read "The Velveteen Rabbit" all the way through without breaking down and bawling.
