I ALWAYS WAS A RISKTAKER TILL NOW

by Desiree - Virgo



I felt a rush of cool air
protruding up my spine,
my arms broke out in goosebumps
as my heart flew up to my esophagus
leaving me speechless,
I prayed for you to want me
regardless of my flaws
(God knows I have many)
and I hoped for many years
that you would say to me
what you just said now,  
but now that I have you here
I'm not so certain,
And yes, I would love for it to be that way
I would let you take care of me 
let you look out for me 
let you love me
let you care for me
but I know that I would be the one
to fuck things up
as I always do
and I can't risk that 
I don't know if I can handle 
losing you again,
you mean too much to me.


Reason for writing:

    I'm an emotional wreck right now
