Words I Need To Hear

Hold me close and be sincere 
  When I tell that you are mine, 
Whisper softly in my ear 
  As I give to you this sign. 
I am frail and insecure 
  In emotion's fervid hold, 
Unresolved and insecure 
  With a hunger to be told. 
The holy trinity of sound, 
  A vocabulary of fate, 
Hushed and gasped and breathed around, 
  For my heart will captivate. 
You bedazzle and amaze, 
  Tell me true and tell me clear, 
In no uncertain ways 
  The words I need to hear...
