I am afraid,

when my words run dry

my lips can't satisfy

my tune will grow old to your ear

I am hidden,

I shiver with doubt

behind dark purple clouds,

too alarmed to be struck with delight

I am aghast,

shielding skies will part

as a trembling heart

falls into another's possession

I am fragile

my edges are torn

my troubles ignored

in a meaningless past unforgotten

I've waited for light,

a hopeless desires

the stars were all dim,

betrayed me like liars

But the flares in your eyes,

deliver promise of bliss

the sweetness of your tongue,

too divine to resist

My heart lept forward at a sprint,

leaving fear in the dust,

so much for being cautious

my sweetheart has restored a lost trust
