The Caveat

For you? Anything. But it must be returned.

My heart is pretty much always in pieces. 
If you can’t work a puzzle? Just walk away.

I tend to chase very dangerous photos,
capturing that dirt road just to get a buzz.

Boredom is something I cannot tolerate,
if you like it laid back? I’m not that space.

Handle with care unless it’s not the time,
be attentive and treat me appropriately. 

I will eagerly give all I have for you to stay,
the caveat is you must want to possess me.  

Withering away without an amorous touch, 
fall hard for my seduction then take control.

It must be returned, but for you? Anything.

Very emotional. Though maybe a heart that really can't show love.
