A Conflict of Heart

It's your smile
that dares me to take the plunge
Unaware of all the dangers that could pursue
I take the first step
Deeper into the water
I cannot swim but you guide me along
Your unchanging heart a beacon that I follow
But in all this, there is an uncertainty
For love is fickle
and many hearts have been cast into the darkness in its pursuit
Forever frozen to the world
Do I dare wade deeper into the water
when all that could await me is love's wicked torment?
As I contemplate my own foolish grievances
I turn to you
and see your smile
