A trembling heart, with a sky so blue but storms have lived inside my chest, truth is love has never let me rest.

Tiptoeing on the edge of you, your voice a shelter and your eyes, they see through the ghosts that still linger in my mind. I’ve danced with fire, burnt many times before. I have built these walls around my heart but peek through doors.

You speak in notes only my soul can hear, yet at times I get scared by fear. What if this beauty comes undone? What if you leave, like all but one? Not wanting to bring the past to become the shining sun, knowing this could be something more than innocent fun.

Still, I stay, though my steps are slow, learning to walk again rather than run into this like the intoxication of a fiery glow. I let a little softness show. Because despite the ache, you are worth the risk to take.

Just hold me close, but not too tight, as we learn to walk together through the days and dream through night.

The truth be told, I’m scared, I am but don’t let go, just walk with me I am learning how to love again..

Real slow.
