Unraveling

That Girl With An Unsteady Heart

Sing of the colors in my eyes,
Breathe dreams into me as we kiss.
I know I ask of you lives,
But help this starving, chained girl along.
If you teach me how to spin in dance I'll laugh out your name as I do,
Take my hand in yours and show me of warmth and possibility,
And I'll whisper to you of interminable secrets,
Make you as restless with want as I find I am with you.
Every day I'll make you wonder at chasms of mysterious unknown.
You'll begin to ask if you can fly as you peer over their jagged edges,
As you take in their taunting depths.
Take a chance on me,
As wild and precarious as we may seem,
You won't ever want to go back to those days when you knew for sure you'd see the sun again,
When you lived your life already knowing of tomorrow.
