Just Myself

I’m in love with you
I don’t know if this is
a good or bad occurrence

You know how I detest
that four lettered
minuscule giant
of a word

Especially when there are days
I can’t even reciprocate
my own self love

Though here I am
at that crossroad with you

I’m terrified

To be pushed to the side
and forgotten about

As I take each brick down
for you to peek inside these walls
a slow process
I know

If I had the courage
I would rip them down
with such force
there would not need to
be any questions asked
all answers would be there
written upon my naked soul

As much as I wish to deliver
I lack that courage
though I know you never asked
this is all I have to offer
nothing more but myself

Bruised

Fractured

Broken

All in all just me
