I believe, I know

I know

What you want me to know

And I know

Nothing more than that

But I see

What I want to see

And I dwell

On a lot more than that

I hear

What you want me to

And I hear

That other part too 

I think

What you want me to think

And I ponder

Upon a lot more than that

I believe

What I think is right

But I know

It is more than that

Nice flow of thoughts and I like how you expanded each set of lines to ensure the reader felt the need to see and feel more. I believe if you try to control something. Sooner or later it will desire freedom from your control. Thank you for sharing the excellent poetry.

First thing first, nice image!!

What I love about your poem is that its always adored with simple diction which are yet quite powerful to create an impact! It is well penned with an elegant portarayal of the idea. Sometimes people wants us to sense what only they can…yet as you have said,there is always much more than that. "The reality might all just be an illusion." Yet when I connect the first stanza with the others, its a trifle confusing. You meant that you rely upon that person in the first place. But the following stanza meant that you can sense far more than what that person is telling you. I mean, that is what I got. May you please explain it to me?

Anyway, it is a nice poem.thanks for sharing!

Hello Atiba. Thankyou. What I meant here is that I know that person, I know what she wants me to know. I don't dig any further, but I sense more. I trust her. And I hear what she leaves unsaid. The poem generally refers to everyone around me, not one person.
