All I manage to be is clumsy in front of you/ and cloudy and disoriented inside/because sometimes I'm still so afraid/and when it comes down to bare rot/ all I am is afraid/afraid to admit/afraid to create/ because i might fail/afraid to give/am I now afraid to live?/ oh- But this is not what you see/you say i've changed so much for your life/and this makes me tremble/and awe arises/ because the fear was displaced for once/in sight of you/ clouds were broken/shrouds torn in two/is this my resentment/that you see the very insides of me/my- heart shakes/please be gentle/dear God, be gentle/ my tears are in your soul, I feel/my heart is in between your teeth/or so i thought/ instead the tenderness shows through because/ you cradle this and cradle me/and my insecure baby-soul/seems to find some release
Reason for writing:
I don't really understand this poem....or rather, thought page...myself, but the reason I wrote it was to release my insecurities and fears of opening up completely to my boyfriend.
Birth sign: Taurus
