TRY

TRY 

Too much, I desire too much of you,

Appreciate, validate, let you sustain me.

Your laughter lingers, a melody in my mind,

Your touch, a warmth I crave, fleeting yet profound,

Your words, a balm to my weary soul,

I drink them in, like water in a desert vast and dry,

A traveler lost, parched beneath an unrelenting sky.

The more I open the door, the more you enter,

Each time I lower my guard, you draw nearer,

Filling the voids I thought were barren and cold,

Your light piercing through my defenses, bold,

Revealing the shadows I tried to conceal,

A quiet invasion, tender yet real,

Steps echoing in chambers I’d locked away.

I have never denied your questions,

My truths exposed, an open book before you,

Your inquiries met with unwavering honesty,

For in your eyes, I see a mirror to my soul,

Reflecting the parts I dare not face alone,

The jagged edges, the whispered fears,

Laid bare beneath your gaze through the years.

Afraid to linger in this moment,

Waiting to see if you are meant for me,

The clock ticks, a relentless reminder,

Each second a question, a lingering doubt,

Is this the turning point, or a mirage,

In the vast desert of my longing, so wide,

A horizon shimmering, truth yet to decide?

This is no place to remain,

I yearn to make a decisive turn,

To tear up the gravel as I speed away,

Shedding the skin of my vulnerability.

The road ahead, uncertain but inviting,

I grip the wheel, ready to embrace change,

Leaving behind the dust of doubt,

Emerging reborn from the cocoon of my fears,

Wings unfolding, eyes free of tears.
