Love that. I think a lot of times, great lines of poetry are entirely unexpected, but after you read them, seem inevitable, as if they couldn't have been anything else. Really getting that vibe with how you closed this one out.
Oh, yes, and writing that ending was unexpected too - I put it down on impulse & thought, oh, that's weird, does it really work? and then realised no, that's how it goes. I couldn't honestly have ended it any other way. Anyway, I'm glad you enjoyed the poem!
"I know what it desires
And yet do not, for both of us are liars."
