Love, a word far treacherous as any
But a feeling that encapsulates every emotion out there,
A sensation inexplicable to others
Only you can comprehend it,

Vulnerability at its core
Something that we all fear,
To willingly unveil the mask that society has given you
And succumb in front of another being,

Trepidation at its every step
Betrayal looms in your mind,
What are you actually afraid of
Is it love,
Or is it the reveal of your naked soul,

Embrace it with grace
Even if sorrow ensues your love
Accept the desolation wholeheartedly,

Your anguish right now is what made you genuine in the first place.
