you can't know
the trouble that rests within
my heart

all the blank sheets of
paper
that I fear to
fill
you cannot know


& yet I am still so inclined to show
the love I keep
buried in between the curtains


save me for a
rainy day

save me from the
hurricane


its coming



so don't pretend
you haven't seen my
plight



my love
we are setting sail
on this night




& we can't afford
to ever look
back



you know
& I very well know



what we mean
with our second glances
& your arm around
my neck


I could have kissed you
if I dared
but I never step a inch forth
in the wilderness
unprepared
