i'm afraid of love
as any kid would be
love is built on trust and promises
i can't say i love you
even to the empty walls of my room
words are arrows
and i'm not ready for mine to
penetrate the heart of
someone who will fall from it
my love can not be blown away by the wind
nor will it sink like an unmovable boulder that lands in the water with a Shamu sized splash
my love is delicate
something to hold in the palm of your hand
don't crush it
when i find you
convincing me to love you
will be more than just a game
show me i can trust you
show me unbreakable promises
and maybe i will show you
what my love looks like
