never expected love from you
unexpected desire
and a need to know more
never wanted more than friendship
only to be blindsided
with emotions i thought long gone
confusion reigns within
and desire
so heady rises to the top
emptiness i only know of is known by two
my hands tremble at the possibility love has come
but my heart only just thawed
warns of pain
scar tissue burning deep
loving
bares my soul
naked and vulnerable
walking a tightrope of emotions
a chasm so far
but a single step
will start me on the way
but to find the courage
to give deeply of myself
