I never believed love was real,
Never imagined it might exist,
Until you wandered into my llife
And gathered my spirit from the tarnished sheath that
protected her.
I struggled against what you tried to give me.
Wounded by lovers in the past,
My soul could not believe the offering from the gods,
Could not accept the silver lining of a cloud.
The doubts bounce within the limits of my essence,
Teasing, taunting, tormenting,
Whispering that you are not real,
That you are heartache in a beautiful box.
I am learning to silence that snickering voice.
I am seeing that he just might be a liar.
But I am still afraid of what I feel,
Of these emotions coursing through my veins.
I turn to you for guidance.
I beg you to relieve me of these fears,
Smother them with passionate kisses,
And ward them off with warm embraces.
