Deep Within Me

 

Me, well I’m too sensitive
and you, well you have
a recurring roughness.
Remember me?
The patient girl
with my heart in your hand
kneeling before you
with a diamond ring band.
That day on the bridge
where the water
I swear it singed
down the fountain
in a glistening stream?

You opened me up
out of my comfort
zone I was blissful
running, playing hooky
when things got to sticky.

I always wanted to stay
but I couldn’t help but clam up.
My words they decay
within the windstorm in my stomach.
My anxiety I live with has inhaled
lovers previous, so please be patient.
My heels are dug deep…it’s your heart
I want to keep.
