Untamed

You took my hand

in yours

and brushed my knuckle.

I felt the warmth

of your fingers

and I knew my knees would

slowly buckle.

xxx

The strength in your hand

is the strength that holds me

tighter.

Until I panic…

My body comes undone

and I know

it’s time to flee…

xxx

I can’t feel love.

It makes me nervous.

I wish I could,

for your sake.

But I just dance around it,

enjoying the thrill,

like I’m watching some kind

of circus.

xxx

I want to be all that 

you need.

Maybe I’m just not that person.

Maybe I’m toxic

and cruel.

Maybe you should just

take heed.

xxx

Or maybe continue to 

hold my hand.

Release that strength and

reach into my soul.

Maybe keep holding me tight.

Maybe…

Just maybe…

That’s what the universe

planned…
