Trust Me
Let the rain come down and wash his tears away.
Let the wind come and bring breezes filled with scents of lavender and sage to calm him.
Let the fire come and burn away this skin that holds the memory of our last embrace.
Let the earth come up from below and swallow me up.
Let your soul be healed and set free from the pain that has been caused by me.
Let him know how much I need him in my life.
Take my heart, hold it close.
Don’t give it all away at the first sign of trouble.
Promise me you will see the truth in my eyes.
My fragile body is crumbling under the effort of trying to make you understand.
I wish you could understand what I mean when I tell you I love you.
I mean you tell me how to live my life, and that’s okay.
You tell me you want me to be your wife, and that’s great.
Trust me when I say,
I love you.
