In the Dark

Take me entirely

You are so loud, and dumb.

You smile for everyone.

A shit eating grin plastered on your face.

But with me you're calm(-er).

You speak, not to please, but to confide in me.

You give me your thoughts and feelings.

Slowly we grew closer.

Though I never said it directly, you know I obsess over you.

Just enough and not too little.

I've never driven on this road before.

So I have to be extra observant.

It's calmer and rocky.

Not a fast ride and all a blur.

It still fills me with an excitement unexplainable.

But I can't help but feel a new fear.

"It's fake"
"You'll hurt yourself"
"You'll hurt HIM"

I falter and you sense this.

With your watchful eyes upon me, I build different walls.

Walls you won't be able to break through with simple words.

"I will love you for as long as it takes"

My efforts seem to be redundant.

I stare to where I hear you are, in the dark, from my bed.

"That's- ...okay"

You come forward and softly touch me.

All of me.

Even to places I've never been, or avoided.

Especially my heart.

You slowly take it from me.

With gentle hands, you hold it to your mouth to whisper to it all your sweet undeserving words.

I watch your plump lips motion words that I've become drunk on.

And you hand me your heart.

Clumsily, I grasp on to it and hug it.

"Promise it's mine"

I look into your eyes, full of emotions.

"Everything that is mine is yours"

I open all the doors I've built into the walls.

They were never locked.

You knew this.

The heart you held ever so softly, glows and become squishy.

Take me.

Take my heart.

Take my soul.

Take my love.

You caress me once again.

You kiss me with your honey mouth.

I touch you.

I whisper my words of affection.

We become one.

"I love you"

Take me entirely...

"Me too"
