Wounds

Apprehensive
Heart in throat
Step forward
Steps back

Nothing left unhurt
All is raw
Connection betrayed
Love lost

Talk is safe
Touch is not
Tipping tipping
Over the edge

Can't breathe
Felt this before
Amazing
Terrifying

Not a gambler
Lost too much before
Long time recovery
Locked door

Can you...will you
Take a chance? 
On me... on you
On a potential us?

Jennifer, we all have wounds that don't show. Perhaps we need to apply some hope to these wounds, spread some dreams on the hurts and wrap them in love. It sure wouldn't hurt.
