Brave Enough

If I was ever brave enough

Pondering my feelings

What would I express to you

Could I let it all out

The depth and effect you have on me

Could I unravel it all

Make any sense of how I feel

Organise my thoughts

Engage your attention in me

Just so you get my groove

Its love I fear

So when you are near

I melt with the attraction

Emotion overwhelms

I only know how to run

Impressions from my past

Come forth to stamp a mark

That cautions me to stop

Not give in to my heart

Let you in or allow you to see

Give me the strength

Help me become brave

Push forward through the pain

That hinders me with restaint

Like barbwired in a cage

Nervous beats pounding

Distance myself

Layers of emotions

Like the evolving sea

I feel this within me

On the smooth shiny sand

You stand, guiding me in

Gently groping fragile rope

Pulling me toward the shore

To free me from my lonely raft

Finally a man who can help me see

Bringing me into the light

Shedding my old skin

All that has been locked away

Saturates me, I am finally free

Intensity that gravitates

Me to you, you to me

I am yours, you are mine

No longer do I run or hide

On the tip of my tongue

Embracing that I can love

Just Me
