Dichotomy

Guarded

Truthfully, I wonder if I'm on your mind as much as you're on mine.

Closing the eyes that solely search for you, wondering why,

He's quiet, and loud, and opinionated, and proud.

Don't squander one thing, for fear of the unknown,

"damaged."

I damn that word to hell.

The scars one bears, have many stories to tell,

to judge one for that... Tartarus welcomes you with open arms.

I'm guaded, in earnest, I won't do it all right,

I won't always see,

But I will fight,

and try, for something they will never be.

I'm not shy, I'm not frail, I'm not quiet,

but... it's what I am with you.

Whether that's a good or bad thing remains to be seen,

one day at a time... wait for me... please.
