More or less of the same……

I want to give

you so much

But am afraid

not of giving but of what

you will do with what I

give

I want to show you so

very much

but am apprehensive of

your reaction when you

truly see

I want to hold you tight

but am torn, will you

think I am smothering

you?

I want to bare my soul to

you

but am unable for fear

that you will take my

vulnerabilities and use

them against me

I want all of these things

to give, show, hold and

bare my soul

tell you things never

have been told

What keeps me from

doing these, you may

ask?

Thoughts of you

wondering if you should

accept or reject

take or leave, speak or

remain silent

so the decision has

been made to just stop

and be still
