Defenseless

I am defenseless against you.

I went to bed one night safely protected by the walls of my emotional fortress.
When I awoke, those walls were reduced to rubble,
They no longer existed.

As I gazed across the barren wasteland of desolation and loneliness,
There you were.
Your dark hair, teased by the breeze, your brown eyes thrusting mercilessly into my soul.
And for the first time in my life, I am truly afraid.

You smile gently at me and tears of pure terror stream down my face
As my whole body shakes.

You seem confused.
But how could you know?
How could you possibly know what you've done to me?

I'm too scared to be with you,
And too scared to go without you .
