Love
Perched on the tip of my tongue
as if standing at the edge of a cliff
staring down at the steely waters below.
These words aching to take the plunge
but too afraid of whats yet to come
Will I cast my heart
upon the jagged rocks below
only to shatter my bones?
or will I dive
into waters dark and deep
Wholesome, warm, and safe?
Every time i see you
My heart threatens to leap out of my chest and off that cliff.
But fear is holding back my tongue.
Because of him,
I cannot jump without reservation.
And for that, I resent him.
You turn my heart into an ocean
wave after wave crashing down upon my chest
as I feel your breath
upon my skin.
floating softly
through your sea
you are all I could want or need
But do you feel the same as me?
