When you ask me to love you
You ask me to open up a flood gate of emotion
An ocean of remembrance of ill past deeds done unto me
When you ask me...
You ask me to trust you and to believe that hurt will never again tear through my flesh with its razor-like talons seeking to devour my trembling soul
You say you come to make me whole
To heal
and to edify my being
Unseeing
You ask me to do this blindly
To put it all behind me and you in the front
This is what I want
For me to love and for you to love me
but the fear of the unknown is all encompassing
When you ask me to love you
You ask me to ignore my intuition
cancel my suspicion
and disable my inhibitions
Listen...
To what it is that you are truly asking of me
You ask me to love infinity
So, I in turn consult the trinity – they that give power to love
My MIND, my BODY, and my SOUL
Now my soul, she calls you mate and simply adores you
My body says “he’s so sexy and has potential, let’s pursue”
But my mind, she’s a sharp one and weary on taking chances on this unstable entity called love
Yet all of the above have to agree
in order for me to be free - to LOVE
