so much for being cautious
I am afraid,
when my words run dry
my lips can't satisfy
my tune will grow old to your ear
I am hidden,
I shiver with doubt
behind dark purple clouds,
too alarmed to be struck with delight
I am aghast,
shielding skies will part
as a trembling heart
falls into another's possession
I am fragile
my edges are torn
my troubles ignored
in a meaningless past unforgotten
I've waited for light,
a hopeless desires
the stars were all dim,
betrayed me like liars
But the flares in your eyes,
deliver promise of bliss
the sweetness of your tongue,
too divine to resist
My heart lept forward at a sprint,
leaving fear in the dust,
so much for being cautious
my sweetheart has restored a lost trust

I wrote this piece after going through relationships that I experienced nothing but heartbreak and disappointment. I'd given up on the idea of young love and decided not to get too close to another person again until later in life. And then I met someone incredible. But I told myself to take things slow and not to have high expectations, for fear that I would get hurt again. But this person was everything I had ever dreamed of. I fell hard, ignoring my fear of heartbreak and I ended up falling in love. And I'm asking this person to take care of my heart, because it has experienced tragedy and loss before.
