The canvas is now open It is saturated with the remnants of my emotions and thoughts The canvas is englufed with the flames that burns throughout my mind Leaving the ashes behind The ashes that have now been used to paint the words left unsaid Some...

At Arms Length

18 4 14 
                                    

                                              
You're at arms length from me,
For I fear what you might see.
Don't get me wrong, I really want to be with you.
But I'm afraid of what that might do.

                          
I'm afraid of trusting you with my heart.
My heart I don't want you to tear apart.
I've been hurt numerous times before.
And honestly, I can't take any more.

                          
But I can see that you really care...at last.
I'll no longer make you suffer because of my past.
Now I must be brave and put my trust in you.
Then I won't be at arms length from you.
