VULNERABILITY
VULNERABILITY
A love so deep tis' nevermore,
upon itself it drowns.
Neath glass facade of shallow trust
subsurface thoughts abound.
Dare not to show how deep love grows
it leaves no place to hide.
The bodies swell, and start to smell,
and love's left high and dry.
Tis' not the stench, nor what is meant.
tis' that the tale was told.
The deeper down your love is felt,
the less it must be sold.
Oft seen as weak, subconsciously.
Still waters yet run deep.
Resist this plea for intimacy
and sow the love you'll reap.
