Let Loose

My heart weeps for someone to love
While my silhouette guards against any pain
That wants to reside in the core of my spirit.
You see, I put on this façade in fear
That you will love me too hard and too deep
Or that time spent will be time wasted
And the end result will be a downpour
Of emotions that I cannot manage.

I have not been hurt significantly
By someone who is significant to me,
Because I have not dared to let him enter my domain…
To be able to call me his.
This feeling that has conquered me
Controls my insides not allowing me to let loose
And lunge into that world of passion.

I am now ready for a change.
Ready to let you take control,
Sweep me off my feet, whirl me in your winds
And free my heart of all these cobwebs.
take me to heights of adoration,
Past the physical exploration
To the point that it hurts to love you
And time ceases to measure our days.

Be the flames that blanket me when I shiver,
And the armor that shields me from hurt.
Mold me and show me how to love you
Peel back the layers of my mysterious exterior
And fill my space with something new and everlasting.
Help me to humble myself and wait on you
Help me to let loose and lose control.
Take me on a journey to ecstasy.
