just let me be spare
with my heart
hold it close
until I am truly sure
the love I see
is pure

let me be alone
with my self
fold me into
the doubts cure
my worries
by myself

If I do not
start out with
my heart
vulnerable,
whatever happens
does, I have seen

Yet unless,
I am willing
to be hurt
be mislead
be the biggest
chump

on this earth
I will stay here
alone and
I cannot stand that.
Would rather
all cupids arrows
rein down

pierce me
painfully
then be here
alone.
