Confession

Sitting in silence, lost in confusion - where to begin again?
All that I knew was nothing at all, just an image replaced by distrust.

My heart is closed, my soul is hiding, my mind clouded by questions with no 
answers.
How to open up again? Trust again? Will it even be worth the effort?

I crave passion but doubt its existence. Then I feel your hands on my skin, 
leaving me breathless.

I want to fall into your arms, fade into your soul and make it my own.

Tell me you love me, say that you need me - fill my void with all that you are.

I trip over words, dodging emotions hoping to keep myself safe. But when 
defenses are resting, it's you who consumes me.

Come find me waiting, hiding between the shadows of fear and belief, and lead 
me into your existence... reassure me of forever.
