Frail

I think that I may love you,
But I cannot be sure
Because when I try to push it open
You start to close the door

I think that you are frightened,
Away and deathly scared
That somehow I’ll be “enlightened”
And say I never cared

But you just don’t understand
Can’t you let go,
And give me your hand

Now you shrink away,
I beg and plead for you to stay
But you turn away from me,
And I cry longing just to be

In your arms

How I long to fill your moonless night,
With stars and comets burning bright
To fill your darkness with my light,
And be your angel satellite

Now I am sure,
This intense longing named
I love you, I love you,
This isn’t a game

And with all my strength I pull open the door,
And see you ,my love, alone on the floor,
Teardrops staining the face I adore

I toss my arms around you,
I like it this way
And nothing is strong enough,
To tear me away
