If I opened my mouth
in a moment of daring honesty
butterflies would dive
into stuttering, stumbling poetry
I'd tell you that often i'm indecisive
but loving you is the best decision
I've made, that I can be sure of
I want you to know everything
I have locked away
every secret in my marked up mind
written on every brick wall I've built
you're home to me, when I need peace
you're a safe shelter, in an unnerving world
i'm building cement bridges to you
we're a novel waiting for pages
and I don't want to delay another second
putting pen to paper
to write down you and me
