Hold Back

Hold back, Little Heart, Hold back the deluge of love That threatens to gush out From your portals Hold back! The object of your affection May only require sprinkles Tiny showers Droplets of those emotions That you keep in store Hold Back! The flood of your feelings That could drench him to the core Could also drown him If he is not strong enough to swim In your boundless sea Hold back! Though overwhelmed, Little Heart Hold Back! Know that you will not perish With the weight of the love you bear Keep it in check Till one who is worthy Gently knocks on your door Who having tasted the droplets, Comes thirsty for more. Then let the floodgates go, Little Heart Don’t hold back...one tiny drop Set the pent up torrents free And in that flood of passion You will find your release!
