Let It Be

Let the reassurance in your eyes
calm the storms in mine  
as your consistency breaks down my walls  
your persistence stripping me  
of my vulnerabilities  
until my raw, defenseless frame is exposed  
for only you to see  
 
then pull me into you with your steady arms  
assuring me I’m safe from harm  
Let my head find its home  
upon your sturdy chest  
where rhythmic melodies of your heart beat  
put my worries to rest  
 
Run your strong hands down my spine  
letting the shivers from your tender touch  
chase away my fears  
and watch my angels and demons  
subsequently emerge  
 
Let your breath on my neck  
warm the chills wrought by  
darkness from within  
kissing away the pains of the past  
of dreams that were never meant to last  
paving a path for new beginnings  
and lasting destinies to have a chance  
 
Caress me with your fondness and spartan passion  
putting my skittish heart at ease  
With your fingers twisted in my hair  
whisper confessions of your sins to me  
and I’ll bare my soul to you...  
 
Then push me against the wall and let your soul make love to mine  
And I’ll remind you  
why all things divine  
must arrive on their own time
