January eyes

by heather - Taurus

looking into eyes
that grace me with such tenderness
i hardly know how to respond
to such gentleness

when im falling apart
and breaking into vulnerability
shaking and tearful
at the love that consumes me

and its only a simple hug
but it embraces me with worlds
of trust, my frail 
childs body trembles 
at the words you concieve

(and im not too proud to admit
i don't know how to take your love)

this blinding-color-rapture-hue
tears spill unwillingly
onto a small part of you

looking into eyes that hold the very 
meaning of honesty
i hardly know how to handle 
this complexity

(love me even when im falling,
love me even when im breaking,
love me even when i can't see
the very thing you shine in front of me.
love me even when im shaking
love me even when im aching
love me when i have nothing
nothing else to do
but cling onto the massive love
i feel for you)

Reason for writing:

    my boyfriend, who ceaselessly takes me in as i am, and loves me as i am; despite myself.
