Love Teetering
I feel it near me again
A sweet soothing to coat my soul
The fragrance of red flowers in the air
And a warmth to withstand the coldest wind
Nervous now, for it has been so long
My heart pounds so hard in my chest
As my mind weighs the past and the pain
I wring my hands as I squint in the sunshine
I'm afraid, so very afraid
My mistakes are many and victories few
But maybe this one is different
Or maybe I'm confused again
My body knows it's right
Arms, legs, my stomach, my skin
All tingle in her presence
Her touch makes my heart sing to the shadows
But if nothing, I will die again
The darkness will consume me
And my love will be deeper hidden still
So I can do nothing but teeter on sharp indecision
